Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 27, 2017

If you still think online is secure you’re dreaming.

One of these days this scene will play out in Second Life. Or maybe it has…

Nothin’ like a bit of old fashioned skullduggery to make my day !

“Skulduggery” today means “underhanded dealings,” “trickery” or “clandestine machinations.” The term is apparently an American invention, first appearing in print (as far as we know) in 1867 (“From Minnesota had been imported the mysterious term ‘scull-duggery’, used to signify political or other trickery.”), but since that quotation is an explanation of the term, we can assume it had been in use for some time before that. Today “sculduggery” is most often associated with cloak-and-dagger intelligence agencies such as the CIA, but freelancers and domestic political operatives have made their own splashes on occasion with “skulduggery”

I always thought it originally pertained to grave robbery, body snatching and guys like Burke and Hare !

I hope they’re using 256 bit RSA Public/Private Key encryption

Online will leave Digital Footprints, here you only leave Muddy Footprints!

And besides, I already had the trenchcoat.

I can imagine what I would be like to do this on line. The next time you log in, ads by Google would be listing spy equipment and you would have an ad to meet single agents in .

The movie The Presidents Analyst has never been so true. Don’t trust TPC, especially since it’s expanded into other elements of your communicative life.

One day all humans will have it impanted on the brain or in it so you are on call all the time.

Old school…..no hacking.

Ah – the Obama cabinet . . .
