If you're REALLY concerned, do what the Wehrmacht did that caused the Battle of the Bulge to be such a surprise -- have your messages delivered by courier. Don't trust the postal service, the telephone, radio, cell (mobile) phones, email, the Internet...take a lesson from Osama bin Laden and have your missives hand carried. |

A few seconds later, my own anti-virus software (AVG) and Microsoft Security Essentials sent me warnings. I've never had this happen before. Funny coincidence. |

(Leeneia, TED is at the outer extreme of starchy respectability as websites go, and I very much doubt they are spreading malware). |

Waffle. |
