There's also the possibility of disinfo. For instance, we all know that more competent agencies than the FBI were involved. The real test of TLA abilities will be to see how many Red Brigaders are captured in coming months. Assuming that those captures are reported --which they might not, to conceal TLA abilities. (Remember Coventry?) On the other hand, continued R.B. activities would be evidence that their hardware, software, and opsec were strong. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
