Reporting Potential COMSEC/OPSEC Problems to Government Officials? Re:In The Clear & Mixed Encryption Transmissions Re: [FedCom]173.9875?

[Tom Greenwood]

Increasingly I read some of the posts on this list and wonder, "What the
&*^$ are people thinking!!  "Call the FBI and tell them you are monitoring
them and that they are compromising their COMSEC?  You have got to be
kidding me!!

Ken, If you were working for the NSA and monitoring the enemy's weak COMSEC,
would you call the enemy and tell them?

Be serious!  Maybe you'd like to invite all of the federal agencies over to
your monitoring post to give them a first hand demonstration of just how
easy it is to monitor them.  At the same time you could conspire with them
on how to destroy once and for all what remains of this hobby.

I don't know about you, but I enjoy moitoring these comms and am not about
to do something so stupid as to put this hobby into any further jeopardy
than it already is in!

There!  My two cents worth.  Back to lurking mode!  Let's all remember the
commnuications act of 1934 and respect it.  Or we can all sit and chat about
what the alternatives are!

73's and happy LISTENING!!!

Tom

Yes, to a point I am serious -- It's just a suggestion since he does
indicate in the public posting the actual nature of the transmissions being
monitored  .. Surely, many of us have heard communications "blunders" during
federal covert (especially joint task force operations) that could have
serious implications if monitored by the "bad" guys!!!  Of course there's
always the possibility that some of those three letter federal law
enforcement agencies already have people assigned to monitor this list (and
other lists), so perhaps it will be dealt with internally. ;)
