Thats nice....I'm sure by now that by the same token, PGP has been spread
far and wide inside of the NAFTA countries. 

Clipper is a joke....albeit a serious one. But with publicly acessible RSA
encryption through PGP our privacy can still be protected.

As an aside, I'm always tempted to send an encrypted message through an 
anon server with the subject header "Clinton's Assassination" or something
equally eye-catching for the NSA.
