Passenger Trains >Date: 12/16/09 23:15 Author: clem A rather bizarre coda to a New York Times story about Florida High Speed Rail. A public records request by state senator Paula Dockery (an HSR opponent) turned up three Florida DOT e-mails with no text, but only attachments relating to HSR. The three e-mail subjects were "pancake," "Pancakes," and "French Toast." Dockery suspects an attempt to hide the messages behind code words. She has filed an additional request for - you can't make this up - any additional messages “containing breakfast food related words, including but not limited to: pancake, French toast, bacon, egg, cereal, waffle, grits, and sausage.”

------------------------------------------------------- > Maybe she should also search for spam? and "pork" The use of code words to disguise email contents is fairly frequent. Since many search routines don't search the body of an email, you can keep themes together by using the same title word(s) in a series of emails and exchanges Date: 12/17/09 13:21 Author: fjc Why don't they try the Enigma codes from WWII ;-)

You spend a billion dollars on a new system, you'd think they;d spend another hundred bucks on an encryption program. No, they didn't. And the Muslim extremists are reading our drone downloads and video,,,, Date: 12/18/09 11:04 Author: warren49 There are some who are always suspecting their opponents (real or imaginary) are plotting against them. They seem to see some very unusual things. Like broken clocks, they are correct once in a while, but most of the time they are just wrong, plain and simple. These are the offspring of those who opposed fluoride in public water systems back in the 40s and 50s (at least figuratively). I guess the people of Florida need to keep a sharp eye out for any "secret" handshakes.
