FEBRUARY 2001 : (MILAN CELL, SALEH CONVERSATION ABOUT FAILURE TO GET TERRORISTS INTO US) Abu Saleh had a conversation with a man who answered Abdulrahman's telephone in Yemen. "I have heard you are getting into America," Abu Saleh is heard to say. "I'm sorry," replied the voice on the other end, "but we did not manage to get in ... ." "How come, man?" Abu Saleh asked. "This is our goal," the voice replied, "and we have no greater desire. ... We hope and wish to enter clandestinely by land. ... ." Within days of that conversation, however, the electronic and physical surveillance of Abu Saleh was discontinued. One investigator explained that, under the Italian laws, it was necessary to either stop the surveillance after one year or to notify Abu Saleh that he was the target of an anti-terrorism investigation. Fearing that any notification would imperil a concurrent investigation of one of Abu Saleh's alleged lieutenants, the police simply turned off the microphones in Abu Saleh's house and automobile. After Sept. 11, 2001, the law was changed to extend the prenotification period to two years. - "Milan cell linked to al-Qaida operatives, " By John Crewdson and Tom Hundley, Chicago Tribune via Seattle Times June 30, 2002

yes, but it old technology. U.S. hackers and anarchists were doing this as far back as 1990 that I am aware of. They would put files on phreaking and such on bulletion boards, and the highly illegal stuff was imbeded in GIF and AVI files. You could open them up with a text editor and find strings of information for hacking into TRW and such.
Hidden in plain sight, while the feds were having hissy fits over public use of PGP.
