   EXACTLY!! Back in the 80's/90's, I was in Australian Army, dealing with   
   Radio and Crypto equipment.   
      
   At one stage, I was told that the daily crypto-keys (64 or 128 bit, I   
   think) they were using then were rated as good for 25-28 hours because   
   it would take the bad guys that long to break the code!!   
      
   Sure, the code-breaker equipment has gotten better/faster, but so too   
   then has the Crypto-Equipment.   
      
   And all just to find out that someone was being posted somewhere else!! ;-P
