Someone is confusing FBI with NSA, methinks. And yes, if this is the kind of thing not talked about, "NDA"s expire when you do. But seriously ... this would seem to be the kind of code that Smart People should be doing security audits on Just Because. So rustle up a couple of PostDocs, and give them an idea for a Thesis, and yer set. Aloha, Michael. -- "Please have your Internet License http://kapu.net/~mjwise/ and Usenet Registration handy..."
