Heh. I attributed more subtlety to RAH than was intended; I thought he
mean have the martial arts dude at http://www.onehand.com/ be the courier.
Has anyone extrapolated from the fact that the more you carry a device with
you, the less physically subvertible it is? Your home machine may be more
robust against that attack than your office machine, e.g., if some friendly
or yourself occupies the house most of the time.
Office PC < Home PC < PDA < dick-tracy watch < waterproof dick tracy watch
< implant < network of implants which monitor
each other (so you'd have to pull all of them at once...)
This could give an extra meaning to 'Bluetooth'.
This ordering would be bogus if, e.g., your office is in Ft Meade or you
frequently pass out behind saloons frequented by 'diplomats'.
The body is not just a temple. Its a secure computing facility.
