   Back in the day there were strong rumours that the Feds were already   
   in the backdoor with the help of Israeli expertise and they just wanted   
   to greenwash that ability.  Then, of course, there's the Smurf Suite:-   
      
      
      
   - but then again, the World is full to the brim with disinformation,   
   misinformation and downright lies.  At the end of the day, "you pays   
   your money and you takes your choice."   
      
   HTH.  No?  Oh well...   
      
   For myself, I just try to keep the freelance black-hats out of my kit;   
   I take it as read that The Man is already in there; pesky boodly TLAs.
