Anonymous mail is more > highly scrutinized. I don't know all the details, but yes, I've seen some discussions by people who mail 'drugs'. But if the sender manages to mail a letter/package anonymously, then that's it. They can scrutinize the package all they want but won't learn much. And can they for instance x-ray all packages and know if a package contains, say, a micro sd card? That seems harder to do... Anyway, my point was that presenting tor as useful and 'legitimate' because it allegedly was used by Manning strikes me as...advertinsing. > > --- Marina Brown > > >
