thought for the day;
In Starfleet, all communications are encrypted automatically.
Although there is no honor in knowledge gained through stolen

does not "sneak"-he shouts into the face of his enemy. But I have
seen many types of dishonor, and so I am prepared for it.

Hardly a new sentiment. From Kahn:
``Gentlemen do not read each other's mail''. Henry Stimson,
Secretary of State, 1929, shutting down the American Black Chamber.
In 1940, Stimson was Secretary of War, and a recipient of MAGIC....

Speaking of crypto in "Star Trek," wasn't this in "The Wrath of Kahn"?
