The Onion -- October 11, 2006 | Issue 42.41
WASHINGTON, DC-In a carefully phrased, 128-bit encoded announcement that haschallenged U.S. security agency procedures, top officials of the NationalCryptography and Information Security Council warned that"FrpX-K5jE-Oc4n-e5Dn" if "Ha4d-87gH-uiH3-gB5r-g8Bh" late Monday.
"It may be true, as these codemakers have stated here, that our nation faces'm7Hk-sJkd-Jk73-4osd-m6Kh,'" Department of Homeland Security head MichaelChertoff told reporters in his plaintext response Tuesday. "But in ourdefense, I would hardly call our situation 'K5jE-Oc4n.'"
The NCISC declined further comment, saying only that its remarks were meantas constructive criticism, and the CIA, NSA, and FBI may have misinterpretedthe message.
