[OT] theoretical (but probably never practical) quantum encryption flaw found

[Scott Bennett <bennett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

     It appears that a theoretical method of breaking quantum key distribution
has been found, there's no cause for alarm (yet:-) because it requires the use
of wormholes or some equivalent. :-)  The abstract looks intriguing, but the
paper was submitted to _Physical_Review_Letters_ only a month ago, so it will
be a long time, if ever, before it sees publication.
     If you're curious, see the abstract at
