Don't forget, though... as the technology progresses, the hackers progress 
right along with it. :) Make such a device available to anyone who can easily 
secret it away into their dungeon laboratory, and it's going to yeild its 
secrets in short order. ;) Once they managed to get it to start spewing its data, it 
wouldn' tmuch longer before the encryption was broken. Just look at how 
"long?" it took to decrypt DVD's for example. I believe it was literally minutes.

Every time "Big Brother" comes up with a better mousetrap, the hackers are 
already several steps ahead of them with a better (and very busy) mouse. Release 
the hack into the wild, and it's a done deal.
