Subj : Hiding Codes in Plain Sight Socialist Style

Several years back I was travelling and stopped by a Chapters bookstore in
the Canadian capital.  I found a few socialist magazines and picked them up
to read their rubbish.  It was shortly after picking these up that I noticed
something peculiar.  At the bottom of the magazine pages there were lines and
dots that seemed non-random.  On the bottom of each page was a non-random
pair of lines short-mid- and long that appeared to code for something that
the recipients would be able to decode yet not be obvious to the casual
reader.  After buying a book called "Steganography: Hiding in Plain Sight" I
was up on most of the lateset techniques to convey information secretly. 
Anyways, so there were artifacts at the bottom of each page in the magazine,
that definitely seemed non-random, and they could be explained away by
claiming poor printing processes -- however that wouldn't explain the
particulars of the markings which were semi-obviously placed there.  I don't
remember which magazine it was in that I saw this, as I was just picking up
the mag for kicks, reading it as someone would read the National Enquirer:
total "useful idiot" levels of rubbish.  Maybe you would be interested in
buying some fringe magazines and looking for potential codes.  This would be
a great way to convey messages covertly as you would have a single printing
house and worldwide distribution, so the source could be fully controlled and
the distribution would send identical code-laden prints throughout the whole
world, available at large book chains such as Chapters/Indigo, Coles, etc.

Best regards,
