I'd love to be able to build I remember when disclosure of the widespread use of audio-bugs was big news on shows like 60 Minutes. The classic being the car salesman leaving potential customers alone to discuss a possible purchase, but actually eavesdropping on them. What revelations await us 20 years from now? The odds are pretty high that "computer-bugs" are in widespread use, although the public can't purchase them yet, unless you are well-connected. Everything you type in is already being secretly monitored, and fed thru some NSA computer looking for keywords, like they do with the phone conversations. I guess if you wipe your files clean, you could get a good lawyer to argue that the government's surveillance copy was just a forgery. But you should consider everything being typed on your computer as going into the public airwaves and being received by someone. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
