It is of course difficult to discern whether or not the NSA's Echelon-type efforts are truly overloaded with information. Given the NSA's budget, the only way to be sure that they are in fact flooded with sufficient bogus message traffic to render Echelon useless is to have a much broader-reaching anti-Echelon effort than currently exists. Until a significant amount of worldwide message traffic carries spookwords, it will remain difficult to discern whether Echelon is able to be used and misused by the NSA and friends. xechelon.org provides spookwords in six languages. Do you have them in your email signature?
