Jim you are a good guy and thanks for this forum. If I may suggest, I doubt that there isn’t any thing NSA cannot decrypt. Also the Cyber Command was well under way before it was announced. Just my opinion but always go low tech. Why” It draws less attention. The boys are looking into more sophisticated technology and they tend to forget the old stuff. encryption or other wise. They will not spend the money to break the emails of the ordinary Joe. IF you are low tech you have a good chance at being overlooked.

Low tech? Yeah, been there, done that——the Washington geniuses still can’t really handle Hawaiian Pidgeon English. And that’s a bit of a rip on Navajo too. People who don’t want to be overheard just devise their own frames of reference, It’s possible to burn a lot of energy/time/hardware trying to keep simpleass things hidden.
Curiously the current conversation is touching on the NSA’s weak spot from the beginning. It has always been seriously illegal for the “listeners” to disclose anything they hear/read/see without a court order, etc. But if they happen to overhear something really dangerous or suspicious (in their mind) there has never been a way to keep them from dropping a postit in somebody’s mail box. It’s never been a problem except that now I fear Odumbo has worked his IRS “listeners” in to the NSA and misuse of the info for political reasons has to be concerning.
