The guy was something of a bozo, using free webmail accounts from locations near his home to email the stuff. It's an interesting read about a legitimate (for once) cyber-bust."

    That is exactly why I memorize my PGP key. Sometimes it takes me 2 minutes to type the whole thing in from a terminal.

    It's a lot safer in my head. And if they try to MAKE me tell them, by the time I become submissive the numbers will jumble together and I will have forgotten it. Can a floppy do that? I think not.
