TAP No. 82 - Still in Saigon

TAP No. 82 - Still in Saigon

One of TAP’s more extreme and dated columns, written in a deliberately provocative voice referencing armed guerrilla groups and citing a Barry Goldwater quote approvingly of political extremism. The piece touches on modifying commercial paging equipment for remote triggering applications and points readers to publicly available (since-declassified, and in one case since-withdrawn) U.S. government documents on chemical and nuclear weapons history, without providing original technical instruction itself. It closes with a list of mail-order suppliers of novelty items and privacy/remailing services. The content reflects the more extreme fringe of TAP’s later-era editorial voice and is presented here strictly as a historical record of the publication rather than as instructional material.
