Tips for reporting this 'clandestine' list to the FBI (and it's contributors)
1) Be sure to speak slowly and use small words when contacting the FBI. 2) If you can, be sure to work the words 'Pipe Bomb', 'Olympics', and/or 'TWA' into your sentences. 3) Remember to unsubscribe from the list before reporting it.
At a recent conference in downtown DC, I was chatting with a few folks in the hotel bar. One of 'em was reminiscing about his days at the CIA and I reminded him that during my presentation earlier that day I talked about crypto-anarchy (giving appropriate credit to Tim May, of course). I asked him if he had ever monitored the cypherpunks list. "No, I didn't. It was too high-traffic," he said. "But the guy in the next office over from me did." Is this the first confirmed report of TLA cypherpunk-monitoring? -Declan
