   You convieently left off the context to which my response replied, so   
   you could hallucinate a different meaning and respond to a different   
   topic.  Here's that context you left off:

   That original context was talking about situations where the police are   
   not already targeting you as an individual, yet choose to begin   
   targeting you *because you are one of the few encrypted messages* they   
   see, and the "why is this one encrypted" curioursity puts you on their   
   radar.  So they choose to "look" because "well, if you are encrypting,   
   that /must be/ because there is something there to hide".   
      
   Your response is topical for "the police are already targeting you for   
   any multitude of other reasons -- of course they are going to try to   
   decrypt your comms", which is not the context of my response at all.
