oh, they could have my key...then, as soon as they're gone, i revoke my key
and create a new one to take its place. they also dont get any of the info i
sent as it requires the other persons key to decode!
this is what the government dont understand! They dont know the technology,
they have no idea how it works. the police could waste 10 men in resources
just to discover my email is 'yes, i'll meet you down the pub for the party'
'losing the keyfile' and 'forgot the password' dont protect you under the
RIP - you'd probably be banged up quicker if you go that route.

it'll sit on your ISP if your SMTP isnt up. it'll probably sit there for a
good hour or so if their server is busy to. anyway, it doesnt need to be
physically 'sitting' to be read.
