When the CIA wanted to deliver some packages during the Viet Nam war,
they set up their own air line, Air America.

If they wanted to send encrypted traffic through a 'civilian' system, I
would suppose that they would do the same sort of thing.

Did you know that Sprint has set up a Global SprintLink service, with
offices opening up in London, Paris, and Tokyo, and that Sprint already
handles a large chunk of the traffic to the former Soviet Union?  They
have a direct link from Falls Church (you know, next to Langley) VA to
Moscow.

That's patently false -- we're located in Herndon, Virginia, right
across the street from Dulles Airport and a hop, skip & jump down
the street from the new NRO office.  ,-)

Jim:  you are closer than you think - the NSA is releasing standards on
ATM encryption - judging from previous recent trends, whaddaya wanna bet
