Hint: if you’re a fugitive Mafiosi, consider a laptop and GPG. Or at least a one-time pad.

Actually, the feds got a mafia guy, somewhere in PA, I think, who was using PGP on his computer (not sure if it was a desktop or a laptop), by installing a keystroke logger when no one was around but the killer attack dogs. When they told the guy how they got him, he was all “No way! How did you get by my dogs??”. The feds had staked the place out for more than a month, and every day when no one was around they’d come by and feed the dogs cheeseburgers through the fence. Eventually they jumped the fence and the dogs let ‘em through unmolested.
This according to the FBI guy in charge at the time, who was interviewed on Dennis Miller’s old HBO show.
