The other problem with warrants in this context is that they are usually obtained secretly and have a limited scope. Once the warrant expires, who will either guarantee that the owner of the key is notified so that he or she may change the key, or ensure that the authority given access to the owner's secret key destroys their copy of it so they cannot read future mail? -- Rob Stampfli rob@colnet.cmhnet.org The neat thing about standards: 614-864-9377 HAM RADIO: kd8wk@n8jyv.oh There are so many to choose from.
