In all honesty, I would be more concerned about availability than someone breaking the encrypted data. Especially so if this satellite provides mission-critical support for the warfighter.


I know that body language and customs are different, but I wanted to point out that in some Asian cultures, arm-crossing is done as a sign of respect, especially towards elders. It's a source of confusion and amusement for older people when the Western-integrated young people get angry.

Another good remedy is an oral appliance for sleep apnea. I use one to position my lower jaw forward while I sleep so I can breathe more easily. The appliance is also a lot easier to maintain than the CPAP (an occasional brushing will do it good). The downside is that it can cost a lot more than the CPAP, as in several thousand dollars.

Edit: I used to use CPAP, but I found fitting it on my face to get a good airtight seal was finicky. It was only after using the CPAP that my insurance let me consider the oral appliance.
