Even more realistic -- if I buy something from overseas, if I have it sent via a metal safe, I might find it arriving with a hole cut in the side of the safe, and the contents "fried". Vs. an unprotected, easy to open box that customs could easily unseal and reseal and allow to go on its way. People coming in through any "checkpoint" (NSA checkpoint for email or customs at country boundaries), are much more likely to be detained if customs can't easily inspect the contents.

That is why such devices are only used for valuable goods and therefore highlight possible targets for tamperers. Sending everything locked in such strongboxes would avoid this marking of worthwhile targets but is too costly Unlike with "real" goods, strongboxing emails can be done by using common tools and without real costs.. robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
