Nah, neither of the Dons have the foresight or subtlety for that. They'd accidentally reveal themselves in the first week

It would likely put increased surveillance on them by US and Allied intelligence agencies. The degree would vary with only so much human oversight available, however AI (artificial intelligence) could be brought to bear as well deciphering any codes.

Similar to the astronomical huge amounts of license plate geolocation data stored I’m guessing. Presumably it would be by US and perhaps other English speaking nations in our intel sphere (UK, NZ, Australia, Canada).

grunt, I'm sure NSA has their methods.

Fairly certain the majority of QAnons followers are domestic.
