Wouldn't it be funny, if the CIA (or other agency) used the remailer system (alon with PGP) for regular communication with operatives overseas.
When the CIA wanted to deliver some packages during the Viet Nam war, they set up their own air line, Air America. If they wanted to send encrypted traffic through a 'civilian' system, I would suppose that they would do the same sort of thing. Did you know that Sprint has set up a Global SprintLink service, with offices opening up in London, Paris, and Tokyo, and that Sprint already handles a large chunk of the traffic to the former Soviet Union? They have a direct link from Falls Church (you know, next to Langley) VA to Moscow. ;-) -- Jim Dixon

That's patently false -- we're located in Herndon, Virginia, right across the street from Dulles Airport and a hop, skip & jump down the street from the new NRO office. ,-) Cheers, _______________________________________________________________________________ Paul Ferguson US Sprint Managed Network Engineering tel: 703.904.2437 Herndon, Virginia USA internet: paul@hawk.sprintmrn.com

Jim: you are closer than you think - the NSA is releasing standards on ATM encryption - judging from previous recent trends, whaddaya wanna bet they're out to "clip" us there too? -NetSurfer #include standard.disclaimer
