   The below text is in my gmail drafts.  In my memory, I was pretty sure
   I had further revised it and sent it.  However, here it is as only a
   half-revised draft, somehow.  Storing on the list to close my weird
   experience:
   You're already hosed because I posted this idea to this list, but here
   it is:

   I recall I had repeatedly further revised this introductory line and
   settled on wording including "these are only ideas".

   In the destination country, get a job in something like machine
   learning or cryptography so that working with weird stuff fits your
   profile.
   Encrypt data into normal conversation like an experienced criminal
   would.  Perhaps you could independently train GPT-2 on a huge shared
   secret.
   Send conversation to an innocuous recipient via a public channel.
   Intended recipient acquires text from public channel.  Can reply to a
   either innocuous recipient or communication channel.  Replies as the
   recipient.

   I recall I had revised this such that the intended recipient replies to
   an unrelated innocuous recipient as themselves.  I thought this might
   reduce weirdness that a surveillance system might profile -- e.g. law
   enforcement oriented systems would be more likely to notice behaviors
   associated with pretending to be somebody else.  My revision was lost.

   Could do website behavior knocking (click links on a host in a
   pre-arranged or cryptographic order) if you needed an out-of-band
   channel.
   The situation has a lot of unknown parameters.  Get a common job and
   use your new laptop for two years before beginning communications.

   I recall I had removed this final paragraph, after making the starting
   paragraph regarding getting a job.  My revision was lost.
   I recall sending the message, but considering that my idea needed
   better rearchitecting around the specific concerns and skills of the
   people in the thread, before sending it.
