The New York Times > Technology > On the Open Internet, a Web of Dark Alleys

The Internet changes everything and particularly makes a wonderfully secure medium for terrorist to communicate, secure because in a world of packets and diverse paths, monitoring or intercepts becomes a daunting intelligence task. I hope the NSA has all the resources it needs to work on this BIG problem.

"Even if the government is able to shore up its networks against attack - one of many goals set forth by the intelligence reform bill passed last week - the ability of terrorists and other dark elements to engage in covert communications online remains a daunting security problem, and one that may prove impossible to solve."
