Show me a proof that no Agent has ever used a remailer, that no Agent shall ever use a remailer.

Of course government agents can and probably will use remailers.

Duh. No shit Sherlock. Let me set this up: "Duh point of duh exhuhcoise geoogie?"

Heck, they can pose as journalists, priests, etc. complete with fake ID and cover stories and commit felonies.
