[kictanet] Re- IF CCK CHOOSES TO MONITOR INTERNET TRAFFIC (they will be doing nothing new)

Fri May 4 18:01:03 EAT 2012

Walu,

Your message has arrived in good order.

I didn't say zero - I just alluded to the fact that there are other
cyber-threats that might have a higher priority than concerns over
"Desperate Housewives Season 7" copyright issues.

But as I watch CNN and see the exposé on how Al-Qaeda operatives were found
with hundreds of documents hidden in encrypted form in what for all intents
and purposes was a "normal" pornographic video file stored on a standard
memory stick - then all of a sudden torrents jump closer to the top in
terms of priority since they are the primary means by which (a lot) porn is
"shared"....

Please be careful out there, we need you back whole and healthy and of
sound mind! :)

Best regards,

Mblayo
