    Now you have ME all paranoid! I'm loading my 870 and locking myself in the house for the rest of my life! Thanks a lot Sunny!

    P.S. The thieves didn't really need the GPS in #2 ... they could have followed the example in #1 and simply obtained the address from the registration in the glove box.

    And where the heck did she find a pay phone in scenario #3 ... do those things still exist? Maybe she went to the airport to use the phone.

    Sunny, it helps if you're ex-military and have a surplus PRC ("prick")-77. OLD fart electronics dufes like P-hole will get it. Heck, I'm so old ... we dealt with the Prick-25. (it had an external encryption thingy)

    'Course I spent 99.9% of my time playing spy while spinning knobs on an R-390.

    "COMSEC is used to protect both classified and unclassified traffic on military communications networks, including voice, video, and data. It is used for both analog and digital applications, and both wired and wireless links."

    That's all I can help you with. I have no clue what "Prick" Thumper is talking about...

    Military radio lingo .... (Personal Radio Communications) PRC = "Prick"

    Acronyms are used for EVERYTHING in the military. When I first came home, nobody ever knew what I was talking about ... I'd forgotten how to speak common English without using a shit-load of acronyms.

    Hence the encryption thingy plugged into the Prick-25.

    So, I need to leave a "bait wallet" at the Lowes or somesuch, then go home and load up the shotgun (that Joe Bieden advised me to get), and wait for the "smart" crooks to arrive. Grand idea! It'll save the taxpayers a ton of money too.

    I wasn't talking specifically about crypto gear or anything but about the constant flow of propaganda training we had. Films on married GIs having affairs and then getting blackmailed to provide secret information, discussion in bars with people about deployments, you name it the Air Force showed a film of it and all with the caveat of the fines and prison you'd get if you violated 'comsec'. They were dead serious about it, but as is typical of government produced films they were pretty lame.

    Trust me ... I know ALL about those training sessions! I used to love the films on VD ... man-o-man, you'd come out of those training sessions swearing you'd NEVER have sex again for the rest of your life! ('Course, that would only last until you hit the bars that night)
