Good        AA>> point. That could be reasonably invisible to the NSA/spy.        AA>> But the use of the binkp can still be deteted, no?               WvV> Yes. With or without pgp/gpg content.              Hmmm.. Too bad networked (via FTN) BBSes don't stress that        opaqueness as pretty-good-isolation from internet collection        then.                      AA>> And if that's the case, they can start focusing their        AA>> observations on systems that use it and probe deeper.               WvV> Why would they want to do that? And if they would, they        WvV> would have already started doing so decades ago...              Well.. I thought that if it becomes known that BBSes are the        transport mechanism for secret/suspect messages, then the spys        could investigate the BBS and owners and choose to knock on        their doors some day?                     --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.57        * Origin: What do you call an excavated pyramid?
