Re: [egov] e-Gov: Distributing confidential information

Absolutely unbelievable.

This patent has to be challengable.

I had publically available documents four years ago
that was promoting a "drop bag" project of exactly
this and even setup domains for it.

The sponsors had other issues which stopped it 
being funded by the USGov for reporting to the EPA
at the state level for regulatory compliance.

Next we'll find out that someone has a patent on 
a mechanism for opening doors and windows
using a computer system.

I have off-list just been informed that this method [unfortunately] is
patented by Tumbleweed Communications.  I was encouraged to
buy some of their shares as well...
