In case not everyone is aware of this, there is in fact a RFC for IP via Carrier Pigeons.

Even better, it has been implemented at least once.

    I think it's time to upgrade RFC for IP via Carrier Pigeons to allow for them carrying SD cards.

    Do any Monks concur?

      In the interest of security, I say train the pigeon to peck out the message in morse code, and only to recognizable individuals. Have you ever heard of anyone successfully interrogating a pigeon?

        No, but I've seen flocks of wild geese form up in the classic V formation behind a remote controlled glider painted to crudely resemble another goose.

        It would be interesting to see if a morse coding pidgeon would be fooled by a man wearing a mask made from a blown up picture of the face of a "recognizable individual"?

        • Interrogating pigeons?  No.
        • However, denial of service by columbophagy, yes.
