Whenever somebody does this, everyone around the world sits up and
takes notice, writes news stories, etc etc etc....  have we ever
considered the possibility that it's just somebody with a homemade
transmitter who's trolling them for giggles?

I could pick up an amateur radio tomorrow and read the output
of a CPRNG out loud into a microphone.  Would that cause an
international incident?  Would I wind up talking to the guys with
the expensive sunglasses and cheap shoes again?
