Interesting. When I first heard about this sport, my first thought was =
"spies must love this." There is very little difference between a =
geocache and a deaddrop. The only real difference is who is using it, =
and for what purpose.

Ok. What exactly do these two 'interests' have in common? NOTHING. =
My point is this...my fear now is that this has come from such a level =
in government that geocaches are being removed in the name of National =
Security because caches could be used by terrorists to swap materials =
and what-not for different events. =20
