Indian High Commission in London returns to typewriters to fight snooping...

The Indian High Commission in London has reverted to using typewriters to compose sensitive documents in the wake of the NSA spying scandal.

Officials also apparently step out of the embassy's premises in Aldwych to discuss sensitive matters in order to dodge 'dedicated' satellites and possible bugs installed on the premises.

"Top secret cables are now written on typewriters which cannot be tracked" Indian High Commissioner to London Jamini Bhagwati told the Times of India.

No classified information is disclosed inside the embassy building, Mr Bhagwati added, who bemoaned the fact that it was "tedious" to go out into the garden every time something sensitive needed discussing.

 Mr Bhagwati, however, said he was not aware whether Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) spying agency responsible for providing signals intelligence, had bugged the Indian High Commission. Full story...
