Telling the world that the Chinese were spying with GoPros would give the world's intelligence agencies a good laugh. It would be sorta like the ones when it was discovered that Russia had the 2nd best army in Ukraine.

BC, Even a simple GoPro is no good if the case cracks. It's trivial for even YouTube content creators to fix electronics that have been damaged by water, much less the Pentagon. Any non-volatile data in that Chinese spy balloon can easily be recovered. The electronics can be reverse-engineered to figure out exactly what the capabilities of that device are. Of course, it's expensive and time-consuming to do all of that, but this is the federal government we're talking about. Tenchusatsu
