Security can be dramatically increased if Internet access could be removed and TCP/IP was replaced by IPX.

A bloke meets Barack Obama at the White House, and says to him: "My dad says you're spying on all of use, and stealing all our information".

Obama replies: "He's not your Dad"

Kremlin security agency to buy typewriters 'to avoid leaks'

When NSA secrets are not so secret any more the Russians buy typewriters.

BBC News - Kremlin security agency to buy typewriters 'to avoid leaks'

ussia's agency responsible for the Kremlin security is buying typewriters - a move reportedly prompted by recent leaks by WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden.

A 486,540-rouble (£9,860) order for electric typewriters has been placed by the FSO agency on the state procurement website.

The FSO has not commented on why it needs the old-fashioned devices.

But an agency source told Russia's Izvestiya newspaper the aim was to prevent leaks from computer hardware.

Trust no one agent Mulder.
