I am told that a similar trick was tried by some people back in the early 1980's, when they were trying to figure out if the NSA could indeed break DES. There was no official response to these attempts.
Or then again, maybe the people involved suddenly had the last 10 years or so of their tax returns scrutinised; maybe they were denied social benefits; etc.
Or then again maybe they were chopped up in little pieces and are buried in a hefty-sinch sack somewhere in the Nevada desert. Or maybe they were forced to watch an endless stream of bad T.V. sitcoms like T.J. Hooker until thier brains melted and ran down the sides of thier faces. Or maybe they just commited suicide becuase they just couldn't deal with all of the guilt... <<I shudder to think of the possibilties...>> -- Joe N.
