S.2281 Hearing (was: Justice Dept: Wiretaps...)

Deja vu.

This sounds amazingly similar to the thoughts running through
many minds back in April 1992 when Uncle Sugar thunk up the
Clipper debacle in an attempt to put the strong personal encryption
genie back into the bottle.  ;-)

They have engineers and scientific minds in their
ranks that understand devices, boards and the likes
and could simply create their own data centers and
simply use new protocols to communicate over the
public
lines and not one person would know the difference,
all
the laws in the world would not stop them, since US
law
doesn't apply to anyone but US citizens and most other
nations could care less about what we imagine,
contrive and go into hysterics about.
