American couple arrested for spying for cuba

quote]KTVU.com
The documents describe the couple's spying methods changing with the times, beginning with old-fashioned tools of Cold War spying: Morse code messages over a short-wave radio and notes taken on water-soluble paper. By the time they retired from the work in 2007, they were reportedly sending encrypted e-mails from Internet cafes.

One court filing says changing technology also persuaded Gwendolyn Myers to abandon what she considered an easy way of passing information, by changing shopping carts in a grocery store. The document quoted her as saying she would no longer use that tactic. "Now they have cameras, but they didn't then

Has anyone seen this? I truly cant believe that this went on for 30 years undetected that doesnt say alot for America does it, And it wasnt for money it was for the love of cuba and Fidel Castro. He gets life ,her 7 1/2 years what makes them think thats fair ? And look how they transferred info , Not exactly high technology. Makes me want to pay more attention in the grocery store...Or Walmart. Ps What the hell is water soluble paper ?

The paper is made out of a rice flour based paste, if it gets wet it dissolves.

It is strong enough to write on and if you need to get rid of it in a hurry, you just dunk it.

It's been around for decades. You can imagine who uses it.
