ychtt, We are close to being in agreement. It is important that we find ways of ensuring we can continue to communicate freely.

The Internet is vulnerable at all times and I was in Israel/Palestine when the Israelis confiscated the palnet servers and copied the information from them. This was followed by a series of targetted assassinations of Palestinian terrorists. The mission staff e-mail used palnet as we didn't have access to secure servers for routine stuff. No doubt Mossad has details of all my e-mails to my wife.

We have to remember that everything we post is susceptible to interception and that half the battle is to make the sheer volume of hay so massive that the needle can't be found. That's not easy and at the end of the day there could be massive electronic files on those of us who are considered risks, whether we be reliable and trusted members of society (like me!) or not.
