Make text unsearchable

Quick implementation of this idea

Includes 2 scripts:

  1. l33tify.py, which replaces 30% of the letters in a user-supplied string with non-letter characters. Example usage:
$> ./l33tify.py An app that scrambles your text like this to keep it from being searchable
Scrambled version:
@n @pp +hat $(®@mble$ you® +e><+ |_ike this to |<e€p it f®0m being $€archable
  1. scramble.py, which simply randomizes the order of letters within each word, leaving the first and last letters in place, thus rendering the words unsearchable but easily understandable, in accordance with this meme.
$> ./scramble.py According to research at Cambridge University it doesnt matter what order the letters in a word are
