Hi BillK,

The military already knows how to build a one-way internet highway, so that
information can be sent into a secure facility across a firewall, but the
possibly-malicious AI within cannot get back across (assuming the operators
do their jobs right of course.)  There is still search capability, limited
by necessary security protocols, but it can be done, and is done now in some
applications.
