> your encryption looks like random noise well, for one, you're emitting from a balloon, so you WILL get the attention of NSA at least. Second, it's pretty trivial to find patterns in otherwise noisy signal, and NSA is expert at that and you're probably a novice. The only thing that can protect you is if you have a good enough encryption, which is hard to keep once they get their hands on the physical balloon. But even if they don't break the encryption, they can hold you in dark cells with no access to a lawyer, if they have the slightest suspicion it was indeed a spy balloon.
