> The only problem is that the cat is out of the bag in terms of the crypto > technology itself - heck, wasn't it always? what you all seem to fail to realise is that if the US makes crypto illegal then terrorists will repect that & never use it again. i mean there's no way they could use crypto without freeware or licensed/sold products - they're just camel bashers aren't they? ok, so the rest of us lose our ability to communicate without full disclosure to our employers, all govenment bodies & everyone in between ( i mean who is going to decide who gets the backdoor ? ) but it's a small price to pay to bring maniacs under control. i mean what right do you have to privacy? privacy is the same as secrecy & if you've nothing to hide what are you afraid of. * does that seem sarcastic ? * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
