This thread gives me the willies. This is all just another example of our power-mad out of control Guv. Has nobody considered that this type of restriction would also be a violation of 1st amendment rights, not to mention the 9th and 10th amendments? And how shall our lovely Guv make its determination of who is in violation without themselves violating our 4th amendment rights? And what about persons that decide to send large randon bit streams from place to place? What happens to them when the Guv demands the key and there is none to produce? Will they likewise make the transmission of random bit streams illegal, or will they pass into law their right to assume that any stream that *appears* random is in fact an encrypted message and subject to the laws governing same? This whole idea defies credibility. Why in hell doesn't the Guv just outlaw breathing without a license? Shit. -Andy V.
