Hacking

Is nothing sacred? It seems that Russian hackers have penetrated our political arena but it shouldn't be surprising. In 1982 we were building a new U.S. Embassy in Moscow using Russian contractors and it was discovered they were planting listening devices in the walls. They had to halt construction which was 65% finished and we had to start over at a different site using American workers. Then I recalled how we confounded the Japanese during WWII by having Navajo Marines assigned as Code Talkers using their native tongue and the enemy never broke their code. Our electronic systems are so vulnerable - but we could always revert to carrier pigeons.
