Journal Journal: The Technology war and our "new war"
I think that this situation is rather odd.
I mean here we are trying to crack the bad guys
hard encryption, and using the massive information
gathering resources of the US on this situation.
Now it is well known that the bad guys do use this good stuff and all the
technology they can get but what about when the technology is used
secondary in favor of the more "primitave" forms.
It would seem that our war is focused on the technology used in communications and other area's
If it was me I'd use the big-bad-technology as a front of communications.
I could email all these horrible and evil ideas and plans to friends and assoc, (all encrypted of course).
and then I could piggy back a strong radio signal with other data so
that only thoes who knew about it would listen to it. (of couse it is also encrypted)
But the thing is, I know that everyone is looking here and everyone is
listening, and everyone has already hacked my encryption,
and everyone knows who else these message were sent to.
but what no one else knows is that it was all fake. a wild goose chase.
because the real "bad-message" was sent on a post
card and anything that was secret was written in
lemmon juice with my Cap'n Fantastic Decoder ring
that I found last week in the cereal.
I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I just want people to stop being
terrorized. I want people to stop this willing release of personal rights and privacy.
I just want people to stop and think for a moment.
and not let the terrorist shap the way they think and live.
ie, don't change the security for other people on the air planes.
simply put a button on the plane, attaced to a computer (seperate from
the other computer) that will dump the fuel of the plane and
make an emergency landing somewhere where it will not run into
anything else (ie buildings, mountians, things that planes should not touch)
I realize that no such system exists, but with all
the money saved on new scanning machines and
security personel and training and other various
equipment, the system could eaily be developed.
I also realize that is is not the only solution,
but its a start, and in a direction that is
overall better.
