"Of course you're very careful not to use the words "bomb" and "aeroplane" in the same message for fear of attracting the attention of the new anti-terrorism police."
I was under the impression that massive information filters were a little more sophisticated than simple word matches.
This sounds like a bit of paranoid nit-picking. Although I could be wrong, maybe Echelon is just a shell script that calls grep (echelon.sh).
But I`m sure it will be rewritten it in Perl by 2004. Maybe they`ll even borrow some code from Slash. Then violate the GPL by not releasing their code.
