I would normally agree with you, Mr. Atkinson, but this is an exceptional case. This is not a philosophical issue -- the issue involved is very much one of life and death, and the people who are most concerned are precisely those people who are on sci.crypt. I realize this discussion violates the group charter, but it is of such intense concern to the cryptography community that this is likely the most appropriate place for the discussion to occur. -- Perry Metzger pmetzger@shearson.com -- "They can have my RSA key when they pry it from my cold dead fingers."
