Cool, but once again it turns out that real life is not like a Dan Brown novel. No Illuminati, no antipopes, no buried treasure, just everyday activities that apparently needed some level of protection.

I guess I feel like there must be more going on though? It's not clear why a weather message would have been hidden away like that. What I read about it suggested that the weather code system was more for telegraph message "compression" reasons than secrecy, although I don't know anything about it so could be missing something.
My guess is that the message must have had some other meaning in some way, even if personal, or that there's something about putting paper in the pocket for tailoring reasons?
Maybe she just needed a place to put the message and forgot about it.

The obvious theory would point out that female clothing isn't supposed to have pockets at all. This means that anything carried in any pocket is likely to be carried in a "hidden pocket" - that's the only kind of pocket.

Well the Illuminati wouldn't be using something you could crack, unless they wanted you to think that you had cracked something, which may or may not have been made so you think that it was or wasn't the Illuminati.

That's a great point. Or is it? Is it a joke, or are you serious? Or maybe you're hinting at something you can't say outright?
I'm going to have to use a corkboard and some red string to sort out everything that's happening here.
