Crypto added to anti-terror bill in US at last minute?!?!!

>From ACLU's site: http://www.aclu.org/issues/cyber/terror.html 

     The latest understanding from ACLU's legislative representatives is
     that the
     "Anti Terrorism" bill that is expected to be acted on today and
     tomorrow will include government controls on encryption -- a
     scheme for key escrow of private keys for encryption. It is also
     likely to include expanded use of wiretapping without a Court
     order.

Send a message with the subject "send pgp-key" for a copy of my key.

Congress isn't in session. It would be a genuine trick for them to pass 
any legislation before September.
