If you are targeted by a governmental agency, not just NSA, it is pretty much game over for you. Unless you toss all you electronic devices and go live in the woods. As for the numbers, I just used them to make a point that if you got a release right, the probability of getting the next right increases. There are some other things you could do to get the keys. Ask someone to access a mirror and talk it to you over the phone. Even a sms message could do. If you're being targeted, there would be a lot of effort in subverting all these side channels and you eventually will discover that you're being targeted. Joel, I believe we all are targeted. I'm do not live in US so all my communications are being intercepted by the dragnet. Even people on US are being targeted. This isn't a paranoid's concern anymore. We should do what we can to at least achieve some privacy.
