I’m sorry to disappoint you weibo, but as someone who works in the industry, embedding hot words or phrases is trivial to work around. When you have a dataset as big as the email pipeline to work with, coding logic to deal with it is quite simple. As mentioned by another poster, encrypted email is for all intents and purposes secure in a practical sense, unless those with motive resort to other means to discover the content – like rubber-hose cryptology.

I was advocating shortly after the patriot act that people randomly add “hot” words to all their emails and encourage everyone else to do the same thing.

In Canada’s case if emails are being scanned, tar sands, blockade, Wiebo Ludwig, sour gas, SPP, g20 , ELF, earth first, and protest would all be good things to use.

You could even go all out and work bombed, explosion and other “hot” words with other innocuous uses into every letter, Sure they will read and reject most of these messages but the number of letters that get flagged will totally bog down their manpower.

Throw sand into the gears by getting everyone give them what they are looking for

Yep – I still don’t understand why encrypted email hasn’t caught on. I don’t think people realize that email is the electronic equivalent of a post card…

Start encrypting your e-mails.
