Great story, and great narration. My initial thoughts, after how much I liked the POV and the writing, were [1] wouldn't they at least turn off the patriotism chips of a spy's AI equipment? [and the obvious answer, of course, is that they will now], and [2] isn't it a bit of a stretch to put a helmet, even a smart helmet, on trial? But I have to admit I really loved the interactions between the judge and the helmet, and probably would have liked the story a bit less without them.
