Oh Mikk, you can't be that naive.
Of course Iran is spying on us, they want to know what we are planning
for the Iranian boat people. Knowing our membership of the US/UK/NZ/AU
intel club they would be looking for titbits dropping from our table.
The Russians did that, remember Petrov ?
Polite heads of state do not go public.

If you do not like the thought that big bad Uncle Sam might be reading
what you write here why don't we all exchange our public keys and
then we can unpack it with an off line computer.
Then we can all be paranoid together.

Augustus used to communicate with his general Germanicus his son using
cones around which was wrapped a message. Ahh nothing new under the sun.

Like I said, Ludwig, I wouldn't encourage them.

It appears that already Queensland is morphing into a cosy police state.

"A MAGISTRATE has questioned "what this state has come to'' after a young man who dropped a tissue in a mall at 1am was held in the police watchhouse for nine hours.

"I'm appalled that this young man is in custody,'' Brisbane magistrate Chris Callaghan said yesterday, after hearing how long Michael Pennisi, 21, had been held without bail.

"Is this what this state has come to? This is all coming down from the top, it appears to me.'"

"Pennisi said outside court he had not even realised a tissue had dropped from his back pocket as he withdrew his ­wallet. He said as the female council officer, with two police, began to issue a $220 fine he refused to give her his details."

Gawd!......

Sorry, wrong thread.

My first question is of from the mounting group of cry baby's is not spying on others.
Who too does not know this.
After that why would any country put in the hands of contractors its biggest secretes?

has raised the private/in confidence..stuff
