Monkey Wrenching Government Snoopers
File this entry under FWIW, but it sounds plausible. I was IMing with a long time friend who is a communications expert. He told me that if you include the words "cialis", "viagra" or "penis" (or any variant of spelling for the latter) in an email, text, or fax then the NSA websnooping protocols will skip over it.
See, even goverment snoopers with the best hardware, most bandwidth, and expert help can’t individually look over everything. Even they have a spam problem he says. It sounds plausible to me but I'd still recommend PGP or some other encryption program for really sensitive stuff. I dunno. If any of you techno geeks or amateur cryptographers have opinions or input on this I'd really like to here from you either by email, IM, or whatever.
