GL2AEC (Google Lens on Android → Windows air-gap) is the opposite of privacy.

You're running:
  - Google Lens (proprietary blob, sends image data to Google servers for OCR)
  - On Android (Google telemetry, proprietary firmware, unauditable)
  - Capturing QR codes from Windows 10/11 (Defender uploads, telemetry, keylogging to encrypted storage)

This isn't an air-gap. This is *security theater wrapped in Faraday fabric.*

Even if you disable network on the Windows machine:
  - Defender logs are still written to disk (readable after physical seizure)
  - Windows Event Log records every process execution
  - The OS itself is a black box you cannot audit

Even if you airplane-mode the Android phone:
  - Google Play Services runs in the background
  - Camera metadata is logged
  - You're trusting Google's blob stack with your crypto QR codes

**A €135 Android phone in a Faraday bag + Windows laptop ≠ privacy.** It's just expensive non-privacy.
