SMS Of The World
Experts talk up text security, from BBC News Online
The tiresome details of David Beckham's lovelife aside, this story once again highlights the least secure part of almost any modern electronic communication — the person at the other end of the line. After all, it doesn't matter how cleverly you encrypt your message, if the person who can decrypt it is just going to run off to the News of the World at the first opportunity and make big money.
But really, I just wanted to point out the amusing picture/caption on the article; if messages are as incomprehensible as the one shown, of course they're hard to bloody intercept! Do people really still send things like that, in this day of predictive text and phones that can concatenate up to 3 messages together?

And they use the same bloody image (or crop thereof) for every item about texting, it seems! Tch.
