Dear MI5, why don’t you use my hex editor?

This is a semi-serious point!

Well, British security service MI5 helped to successfully convict three would-be terrorists Richard Dart (30) of Ealing, Imran Mahmood (22) of Northolt and Jahangir Alom (26) of Stratford by what looks like scanning through temporarily (?) cached fragments of Word documents. This is a good thing.

But they have been using an 8-bit orientated hex editor – as the picture shows. If they had used my Unicode supporting  editor, Hexxed, they could have got rid of those annoying spaces between the letters.
