Echelon test
You've heard of Echelon, right? The system that the government 'supposedly' has in place which searches our emails, telephones etc for certain 'trigger' words such as 'bomb', 'assasination' and so forth, all in the name of national security.
I've just read in FHM you can try a little test to see it in action. Sign out of msn, then send to your hotmail address from another mail account an email with 'Blair/Bush assasination attempt' in the subject line. Wait a few minutes then send yourself another email but leave the subject and message blank. Wait another few minutes and sign back in to hotmail.
The 'Blair/Bush' email will get there after the second one you sent. I wonder where it went first.....

Re: Echelon test
I am sure if I was hatching an evil plot I would put the object of my wicked scheme in the subject line in case any of my co-plotters inadvertantly dismissed my message as spam..........

Re: Echelon test
I'm sure if I was plannig an assasination of bush/blair I wouldnt use hotmail to communicate it.
Mind you with hotmail at least it would actually work.

I hope that the Echelon software allows for spelling mistakes, otherwise the 'assasination' bit will sail merrily through, undetected.

Ah but it's the quiet ones, the sleepers, that don't raise suspicion, that need to be watched the most. :pp
