A suspected member of the Al Qaeda terrorist group, arrested in May last year in Germany, was found with a memory stick hidden in his underwear.

Now that's funny in itself...

I’m not surprised at this: a similar method showed up in the early seasons of “NCIS”.

They already do that.

They’ll just use this to claim it’s “work-related”.

I would write essays on my autocad drawings...then rescale the essay so it wasn’t much more than a dot on a 2’x3’ drawing.

I read somewhere that a good number of computer viruses spread by downloaded porn - reason #297 to avoid them :-)

And this info would be not available had a Predator / Reaper just “eliminated” the targeted with an AGM-114 HellFire

This seems strange. Most stego packages have built-in crypto, so even if the files are detected they can’t be read.

I have often thought that volunteers allowing their computers to be used to search for intelligent life in images, much as a lot of people do, or did, with the SETI project, would be a good idea.
Except for the wee bit about trusting those who would run such a program with access to their computers... and that we might find ourselves wanting to use steganography one day...

I suppose I can assume at this point that there are dedicated computers out there, steadily crunching every image on the web to see what may be hiding in them.

Surprisingly, a lot of stego programs, or users, do not encrypt first.

re: now the tsa will be watching... I thought they already were, compliments of backscatter technology, except for when a 2-D image just isn’t enough.

I can just imagine the CTC going through hours of goat porn to find the hidden files.
