and in it is the following quote:

> Last month, the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
> began distributing chips with hidden Trojan horse circuitry to
> military contractors who are participating in the agency's Trusted
> Integrated Circuits program. The goal is to test forensic techniques
> for finding hidden electronic trap doors, which can be maddeningly
> elusive. The agency is not yet ready to announce the results of the
> test, according to Jan Walker, a spokeswoman for the agency.

Hmmmm....

Best,

Allen
