Isn't there a possibility of political activism with this thing?
I mean, imagine, just out of the blue, everybody starts posting or emailing around random groupings of 5 numbers.
If everybody does it, you are less likely to be singled out. It will annoy the hell out of the surveillance government. It will allow people who want to really have a covert channel to be undetectable. It will make a strong political statement, can become viral. Add a line at the end of the bloc of numbers to the effect of: 'I'm fed up of being watched. So, I'm sending around numbers. They could be some sort of communication. Or not.
If you're fed up of being watched too, let the watchers know: do as I do. It will soon become useless watching when everyone is doing it'.
You can very well imagine the same thing with telephone numbers. You post your phone number on a site. You can see all the numbers of everyone else who subscribed. You choose a few, you call them. Tell them: 'Hey! You're into this too! Kalaschnikov Ben Laden! And good day to you sir!'. Everybody which will be on this list can them communicate without fear of traffic analysis.
And who knows, you could end up talking to some interesting people with the same view on the matter as you!
Let's plant false leads all over the place. It'll annoy them, it may give us back our privacy, it will be, for once, a political act easy to do from your keyboard.
Let's all get red-flagged.
