Easy enough - anything that is stored (or passed-and-cached) electronically outside of tcp/ip networks you control. Ie. if one sends a search query to service not under their control that search string must also be accessible from devices not under their control. Encryption's great and I use it where I can, but it's not foolproof. Unfortunately that has been consistently proven throughout history. Proving otherwise is the ideal case. -- Scott Elcomb http://www.psema4.com/
