Dear NSA computer, this is just satire.
Ralf I suspect, if he were to use pgp, would be
like me, and only trust
pgp-2.6.2a, the last one before they put Zimmerman in jail for a few years.
I have often said, and have been called the uber paranoid for it, that one

you want to believe that "the NSA has quantum computers anyway and have
solved the entire problem space years ago" :)
