Re: Secure Transport of Data

Kirk--

The only -really- secure way to send the tape is to encrypt the data 
on the tape.

Fed Ex used to advertise "when it absolutely, positively has to get 
there by tomorrow morning..."  Is that enough of a guarantee?

Otherwise, seal it in an envelope, hop in a car, and start driving!   (:

If you can part with it long enough for it to go through the X-ray 
machine, you could fly...

If you really want to get fancy, write a program to read the data, 
split the even bits onto one tape, the odd bits onto another.  Send 
each tape via a different route on different days.  Combine the bits 
at the receiving end to reconstruct the data...
