Speaking of that, James mentioned that his father (whom I don't
recall ever before being mentioned) told him his worry about
terrorists breaking encryption was just paranoia.

So do you think this is just projection on James' part, that all
this bullshit is just to impress his father? Is his father just
an uneducated share-cropper easily snowed by James' mumbo-jumbo,
an educated professional whose standards James is trying desperately
to live up to or something in between?

Now I think his desire for fame, fortune and chicks is just a
smokescreen.
