Re: [PLUG] how to lose your rights and freedom...

Okay,
The best encryption against the federal government would be seeming plain
text.  If I were mounting such a campaign I would use codes, as has been
done throughout history, that would seem to be innocent to someone reading
over my shoulder.  Obvious encryption would only get NSA's attention.
They may not know what it says, but they do know that it means something
and something I wish to keep hidden.
I would suspect that that form of code is being transmitted as we speak
with questions about "sister" or "brother" by al Qaida operatives.
These guys are not fools and they know about command and control being
compromised by broken codes.
I wish the right to codes to keep potential patent information protected
or to keep my students from reading information I don't want them to know
yet like their grades or information that they should not know like the
grades of their fellows.
The guy who said "gentlemen do not read other gentlemen's mail" got fired
a long time ago.  You should not say anything in your personal dispatches
that you cannot tell the holy inquisitor to his face.
