If letters to the editor could contain hidden messages...
Shoe bomber Richard Reid has been denied access in prison to Time magazine. Apparently prison officials are concerned that letters to the editor could contain coded messages.
I'm confused as to why that matters? If there is any evil that Reid, or a terrorist mastermind, could perform behind bars, it's the access to things like gasoline that stops him, not information.
And if our enemies are so clever that they can slip undetectable coded messages through the letters, couldn't they also infiltrate the editorial staff of Time or some prestigious magazine and slip the coded messages into the editorial content or advertising?
