We need, somehow, a safe word for such projects. Presumably one that is triggered by a failed keep-alive. This has been discussed before variously, but it may be an idea whose time has come. Design will require choices between false alarms and silent failure.

A deadman switch for NSL alerts would make for an interesting case. Would a judge rule that you had “spoken” about the NSL by failing to send the keep-alive messages, thus compelling you to continuously speak the lie that you have not received one?
