With all of the controversy about the news that the NSA has been
monitoring, since 9/11, telephone calls and email messages of
Americans, some folks might now be wondering if they are being
snooped on. Here's a quick and easy method to see if one's email
messages are being read by someone else.

The steps are:
	1.	Set up a Hotmail account.
	2.	Set up a second email account with a non-U.S.
provider. (eg. Rediffmail.com)
	3.	Send messages between the two accounts which might be
interesting to the NSA.
	4.	In each message, include a unique URL to a Web server
that you have access to its server logs. This URL should only be
known by you and not linked to from any other Web page. The text of the
message should encourage an NSA monitor to visit the URL.
	5.	If the server log file ever shows this URL being
accessed, then you know that you are being snooped on. The IP address of
the access can also provide clues about who is doing the snooping.

The trick is to make the link enticing enough for someone or
something to want to click on it. As part of a large-scale research
project, I would suggest sending out a few hundred thousand messages using
various tricks to find one that might work. Here are some
possible ideas:
	*	Include a variety of terrorist related trigger words
	*	Include other links in a message to known AQ message boards
	*	Include a fake CC: to Mohamed Atta's old email
address (el-amir at tu-harburg.de)
	*	Send the message from an SMTP server in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. *	Use a
fake return address from a known terrorist organization
	*	Use a ziplip or hushmail account.
Besides monitoring the NSA, this same technique can be used if you suspect
your email account password has been stolen or if a family member or
coworker is reading your email on your computer on the sly.
