Yes, you are missing a lot. The bit about foreign inteligence agencies is
almost certainly a canard created by one Strassman at a conference in
Boston 2 years ago, then retracted. Anyway, if you use chaining, it's
irrelevant.
See

for the gory details.
Note that I use a remailer beacause this group may be gatewayed to Usenet
and I am trying to keep down the spam...
