| Subject: Aping Russia, Germany mulls anti-high-tech spy technology: the typewriter Sun Jul 20, 2014 7:53 pm | |
| Germany is considering going back to the trusty old typewriter to counter alleged spying by the US government.
In an interview with the TV service Morgenmagazin, a politician in charge of a parliamentary inquiry into US spying in Germany said that the government was seriously considering a low-tech solution to the ongoing espionage problem, according to the British media.
Asked "Are you considering typewriters?" by the interviewer, Christian Democrat politician Patrick Sensburg said: "As a matter of fact, we have - and not electronic models either."
"Really?" the surprised interviewer checked.
