Someone is probably doing steganography in netnews and/or mailing lists right now! (Besides cypherpunks, I mean.) How would we find them?
Food for thought: that, at least as of recently, the NSA bought weekly dumps of all usenet articles on tape. I highly doubt they were for their reading pleasure...
Many organizations buy complete dumps of usenet -- its a way of getting a newsfeed if your organization is too paranoid to let you get a network connection. I don't know if the NSA was such an organization, but it would not suprise me. Perry
