+Security demonstration:
+For this demonstration we'll need a bunch of volunteers.  
+  * 2 people on opposite sides of the room, mail provider X and mail provider Y.
+  * 6 e-mailers: 
+   * A@X.com
+   * B@Y.com
+   * C@X.com
+   * D@Y.com
+   * E@X.com
+   * F@Y.com 
+We can add more folks if we want more successfully sent messages.
+  * 1 "You've got mail" person.
+
+Instructions/demonstrate the "mail sending".
+
+I'm Jon@X.com.  I want to send a message to Jamie at Y.com.  So I write it, and I 
+
+put Jamie's name on the top, and give my message to X.com.  They see that it's for 
+
+Y.com, and they pass it along to a number of other computers until it reaches the 
+
+Y.com computers.  Next time Jamie decides to check his e-mail, he gets a copy from 
+
+Y.com. He can reply  and send it back, or forward it to someone else.
+
+Since we're on a schedule, I'm going to ask that folks please follow the 
+
+directions they're given and not decide to send e-mail via paper airplanes etc.
+
+Normally, we don't see this process, so I'm going to ask person B-F to leave the 
+
+room (or turn their backs).  The "You've got mail" person will tell you to come in 
+
+when it's your turn to check your e-mail. 
+
+People B-F leave the room.  Everyone's instructions have a note at the top asking them to please note share their instructions with others.
+
+As each person sits down after sending their message, we ask them to please not 
+
+say anything to the folks who check mail after them.
+
+Instructions for person A:
+Send a message with a short incriminating phrase of your choosing to person B.  If 
+
+you can't think of one, use "I bought the dynamite."  When you're done, have a 
+
+seat.
+
+Person B:
+You're expecting a message about an upcoming action.  Write a message telling your 
+
+companer@ C when you'd like to plan a scouting run.  Plan it for nighttime some 
+
+time in the next week.  Send it when you get an e-mail from person A.  After you 
+
+send your e-mail, have a seat in the room.
+
+{Police ask a router to hand them the message when it comes to them, take a 
+
+picture of the message}
+
+Person C:
+You are planning an action.  You are expecting a message from person B about a 
+
+scouting run in the next week.  
+
+Write a message that says, "We'll do the action on the night of ______."  When you 
+
+get the message from person B, fill in a date a few days after the date of the 
+
+scouting run and put it in the envelope, which represents encryption.  Put the 
+
+address of person D and a subject on the outside of the envelope and send your 
+
+e-mail.  After you send it, have a seat in the room.
+
+{Police switch out an envelope, contents say, "The action is on.  Scouting run on 
+
+Monday at noon."}
+
+Person D:
+You are planning an action.  You are expecting a message from person C about when 
+
+the action should take place.
+
+Forward that information to person E.  Put a note at the top like, "FYI, here's 
+
+the info." Make sure to encrypt the message by putting it in an envelope.  Put the 
+
+address of person E and a subject on the outside of the envelope  Also, sign the 
+
+envelope with your name across the flap so they know the message came from you.  After you send the message, have a seat in the room.
+
+{Police switch out the envelope for an envelope that they've signed}.
+
+Person E:
+You are planning an action.  Person D will forward the info on the action to you.  You should forward it to person F.
+
+Make sure to encrypt the message by putting it in an envelope.  Put the 
+
+address of person F and a subject on the outside of the envelope  Also, sign the 
+
+envelope with your name across the flap so they know the message came from you.  After you send the message, have a seat in the room.
+
+Just before you enter the room, please give these directions to person F.
+
+Person F (Could also be person A) (directions say,"Don't open this until instructed", which is when person D goes to check e-mail):
+As the last person, you won't be sending e-mail, just receiving.  
+
+However, just before person E enters the room to check e-mail, have an in-person meeting with person E.  Ask them to write their signature for you, and also to leave their directions with you.
