Newt may be more receptive to encryption now

Given his troubles with this "hay seed" scanner recording democrats, ol' Newt
may be more receptive to encryption.

Our privacy certainly is getting trashed by this presidency and I am hoping
an impeachment is coming down the line.

Since the congress is who makes the laws, maybe we all can focus some snail
mail to these guys.

Perhaps EFF could even draft some laws for our protection (what a joke - just
to keep busy body beaurocrats outta our business).

What does it matter anyhow, these guys dont read their own 300 - 5000 page
laws anyhow....

Hopeless....

I think what's important to stress is that technical fixes work, laws
don't.

Net-advocates in DC are already planning to suggest to Republicans that
they use crypto as a hammer to nail Gore (the chief White House supporter
of the current policy) and draw votes and cash from Silicon Valley.

EFF and John Gilmore have no credibility, but the homo "cypher punk's"
reliance on more laws and bigger gubmint to solve all his problems
is telling.
