Default Is Al-Qaeda Using This Board to Send terrorist Plot Messages?

According to Time Magazine, bin Laden's terrorist army sends secret Internet messages by Steganography, Greek for "hidden writing," which allows messages to be slipped into innocuous picture and music files. The trick is to make the insertions so small that they're impossible to detect with the human eye, but are easily retrieved through special software tools. A terrorist mastermind could insert plans for blowing up a nuclear power plant in, say, the nose of a puppy on a pet-adoption website. Operatives in the field, told which nose to look at, could then check for their marching orders. I've seen a lot of pictures of dogs on this board (no offense, Mr. Pockets). What do you guys think?
