There are *always* usage pattern attacks. The key is reducing them.
If there was no traffic out of my sight except for 10 quick outside
connections made over the last 6 months, and all of these were made
exactly five minutes previous to the arrival of one of the 10 threatening
but anonymous emails cent to a certain counterparty, then if someone
notices this I'll just have to accept that I'm hosed.
