If you read the web page it was just a demo created by ABC news --
that doesn't count as found in the wild.  Not that it would be that
far out to find the odd image in the wild created as a novelty by
someone tinkering with stego software, or perhaps even individuals
playing with stego.

Stego isn't a horseman, and the press drumming up scare stories around
stego is ludicrous.  We don't need any more stupid cryptography or
internet related laws.  More stupid laws will not make anyone safer.
