As reported by AP:
| Among the most important [debris] they were seeking was
| a device that allows for the encryption of communication
| between the shuttle and NASA controllers. A NASA spokesman
| in Houston, John Ira Petty, said Friday that NASA feared
| the technology could be used "to send bogus signals to the
| shuttle."
Apparently some folks skipped class the day Kerchhoffs'
Principle was covered.
One wonders what other shuttle systems were designed
with comparable disregard of basic principles.
