And you know, who knows? Maybe they are in fact concealing more computers than you could build with all the silicon in the solar system in Fort Meade. Those feds, they are superhuman, you know? There are two curves you have to worry about, one is computation, the other is advances in mathmatics. Even if some great advance was made in factoring, a larger key *might* remain safe. This is the reason, not increased computational power. That is, unless you have proven some verry interesting things about factoring numbers and algorithmic complexity.
