<FONT COLOR="Maroon"><B>Throwing sand in the All-Seeing Eye



</B></FONT>by Paul McGinnis (original article posted April 24, 1994)

(this is an article about my plan to have fun with paranoid people in

the US government)



I've often wondered if various entities of the US government monitor

the public messages in groups such as this or monitor unencrypted

electronic mail. I've worked in the communications industry since 1987

and I know how easy it is to monitor digital communications -- in

fact, it is often necessary to monitor data communications to find

problems in the hardware or software.



There have been rumors that NSA can scan international links for

keywords like "MX missile" or "Stealth bomber". It's very easy to set

up this kind of filter program -- for instance, if you mention Kibo in

a Usenet public message, he will respond. With that in mind, I'd like

to propose an experiment (maybe prank is a better description...). The

following is a list of phrases that are put at the beginning of

classified files by the US government. They are taken from Department

of Defense manual DOD 5220.22-M and Title 32, Section 2001 Code of

Federal Regulations.



Note: comments are placed between square brackets, i.e. [this is a

comment].



My experiment is to see what happens if you start putting some of

these at the beginning of your Internet messages...
