Some military broadband links send a constant stream of encrypted data, whether

real data or filler. This "hiding in plain sight" reduces the ability of

someone to perform traffic analysis on the network in precisely such a manner.

This would be awful on the Net, of course, if everyone did it. But people

should be aware that encryption is not the only facet of communications

security that they need to worry about.
