President-elect Donald Trump told reporters on Saturday that messages "should be sent via courier like in the old days" to ensure security.

"It's very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old fashioned way because I'll tell you what, no computer is safe," Trump responded when asked about the importance of cybersecurity, according to pool reporters.

"I don't care what they say, no computer is safe. I have a boy who's 10 years old, he can do anything with a computer. You want something to really go without detection, write it out and have it sent by courier," Trump reiterated.

He left out some key details in this though.

First, you don't send one message. You send 3 messages that look identical with 3 different couriers. One real, two fake.

Then, you send each courier out using the least direct route possible. Go through alleys, tunnels, etc to make them difficult to track.

The 3 messages go to legit people, but there is a code to be able to tell if what was received is real or not. Like the first letter on each line spells "this is not the decoy".
