Re: Had to say it....

True, however I seem to recall hearing of a case where a U.S. sub intercepted a soviet fiber cable. They didn't cut it, they cut open the sheath, and bent the fibers slightly. Enough to cause light leakage through the fiber wall that could be detected by their equipment to intercept traffic, but not enough to cause detectable degradation by the cable terminal equipment.
