Apparently, you've never been exposed to the paranoia that pervades M&A departments. My point was that if the perception exists, then it is a problem, nonetheless, scientific explanations to the contrary notwithstanding. I don't think a convex reflective surface would be necessary over short distances when it's a spot beam that we're talking about that is reflected. Okay, some of the new vendors claim to diffuse their beams, somewhat (LU's OpticAir is one, but from the reading earlier this evening upstream, I now see that they are not coming to market any longer?? is that true?), but they still are still tight enough to classify as a "spot." It would come to you in a pouch. The NSA's advantage used to be its access to Crays and massive parallel computing environments. And then along came Moore. Granted, a much harder and more elusive problem than harnessing the optical signal would be descrambling and decyphering of the received signals. But that's why they have polytechnic universities, I thought...
