[FedCom] Boston FBI

[Bill]

Training vs Real.

Chris,  many of us in Boston can confirm the CLEAR vs Encrypted [DVP/DES] 
rumor as
pure crap.   We often hear the event going down and then the news story 
weeks later
as the FBI / US Attorney and other agencies release the press-release.

I would not even consider the comment  of anything I heard in the clear was 
training.
