Oops -- I didn't mean to send that last reply to the whole list. Oh well.
Although I share your anger and desire for a show-down, I worry about the
result. Back when the Clipper chip was fresh in the papers was the time for
this showdown. There is so little awareness on the public's part today
about crypto that I would be surprised if a mass movement of the people
speaking to Congress would come out at all in our favor.
What's the next totally stupid thing the government could be talked into
doing -- something on a par with Clipper?
