Technology can be a pain in the backside when used by enemies.

OTTAWA (CP) - The RCMP has warned its investigators to be on the lookout for cleverly disguised messages embedded by al-Qaida in digital files police seize from terror suspects.

An internal report obtained by The Canadian Press gives credence to the long-rumoured possibility Osama bin Laden's terrorist network and other extremist groups are using a technique known as steganography to hide the existence of sensitive communications.

Any delay in detecting disguised messages could be disastrous. Do western security agencies have sufficient personnel and resources to uncover the messages?
