Trump's brilliant cybersecurity solution is to send messages by courier
President-elect Donald Trump has a brilliant solution to our country's cybersecurity problems.
No, it's not to condemn Russia for hacking the Democratic National Committee. It's turning back the clock to a simpler time, before these newfangled computers messed everything up.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday while in Florida to celebrate New Year's Eve, the president-elect, per the press pool report, said:
"It's very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old fashioned way because I'll tell you what, no computer is safe. I don't care what they say, no computer is safe. I have a boy who's ten years old, he can do anything with a computer. You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier."

Perhaps next time there is a national emergency, Trump can summon his advisers via raven? As long as no Lannisters shoot them down, they should be hack-proof.
