Sorry, NSA, Terrorists Don't Use Verizon. Or Skype. Or Gmail. | Motherboard

Even though the still-growing surveillance state that sprung up in the wake of 9/11 was enacted almost entirely to "fight terrorism," reports show that the modes of communication that agencies like the NSA are targeting are scarcely used by terrorists at all.

    What about what we in the Shire (Great Britain) call snailmail? It's very difficult to scan a handwritten letter stuffed in an envelope. Most of Western Society seems to have forgotten about that archaic technology. What better way to propagate terrorist plots undetected?

    Ps. Bugger! I've just given the game away to our beloved rulers!

      Funny you should mention this. I thought the same thing about how hard it is to scan a handwritten letter without it being detected. I told a few friends that I write to that I will now by handwriting those letters, on stationary and using the soon to be lost art of cursive writing. Proud Producers has some nice stationary with Atlas on it that I'm going to order.
