"... gentlemen do not read each other's mail."
-- Secretary of State Henry Stimson, on closing down
the Black Chamber, the precursor to the National
Security Agency.

I never read other people's mail.
Gennifer Flowers for Secretary of State.
The hum of either army stilly sounds, That the fixed sentinels almost receive The secret whispers of each other's watch
Fire answers fire, and through their paly flames Each battle sees the other's umbered face...
A well-schooled electorate, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and read Books, shall not be infringed.
Stay together, drag each other down.
National security is the chief cause of national insecurity.
Security is a state of mind...
Be security conscious -- National defense is at stake.

Gentlemen Do Not Read Each Other's Mail." -- Secretary Of State Henry Stimson, On Closing Down The Black Chamber, The Precursor To The National Security Agency.
