this actually brings up a good point, it is illegal to send devices with very current encryption to foreign nations, I know you would not think there is anything on a balloon that is privileged but there are many things installed on operating systems in the US that are not for export. I would think some care should be used to make sure that a balloon once captured by the Chinese or other nation, would not contain any proprietary software or encryption algorithms. just thinking out loud from a computer security point of view. marc KI5ZHO
