No offense, but that's an absurd form of comms, because bridges do on occasion collapse for accidental reasons. And think of the absurdity of having to have a giant secret codebook about what each bridge means and then based on what message you want to send have to go do something to it. Far easier to use one of those shortwave radio numbers stations. Or a post on Craigslist?
It's ok if you prefer not to see it, or aren't ready. We were all there at one point.
They do use Craigslist, but it doesn't reach as wide an audience as front page "news". I don't know about shortwave number stations. Probably compromised. Bridge comms are likely reserved for the big stuff where the amount of (ill gotten) money required to fund it is a fair trade off for the important messages.
Whose front page news? Print edition? Web edition? Which bridges? Do you think every event involving a bridge in China is making the New York Times? Absurd.

Yes, that is absurd. But I didn't say every, just large bridges. Like this one.
