Actually, that's what the "one time" in the "one time pad" is about. You only use it one time. SO, shooting a courier carrying the random data for a one time pad would, unless your enemies are complete idiots, probably do you no good at all. You would get the pad that nothing had been encrypted with yet. Since a dead courier will give the embassy a good idea that their pad has been intercepted, they will probably not send a message using that pad. So, all you get is an international incident and no decrypted messages. Donald
