Plausible Deniability
In the present day plausible deniability allows the supply of arms by governments to insurgents without the need for over elaborate ruses. For example the sheer number of AKM rifles, manufacturers and users in the world means that these weapons can be supplied with plausible deniability as to exactly from where and from whom the guns were acquired.

Famous quotes containing the word plausible:
“The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with cylinder oil, and coat their outsides with sprayed rubber film, and let them statically await the next emergency.”
—Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)
