It was a conference call but over a cellular phone. Martin had hacked his Radio Shack Scanner using a well known technique. He had a radio ham license. I still don't expect a conviction. Lets see a guy gets a tape he believes shows that the Speaker of the house lied to the ethics committee. He hands it to a senior member of the ethics committee of the house despite knowing that in doing so he put himself at risk of prosecution. Does anyone in their right mind expect any jury to convict in such a case? Basically a trial would be open season for the defense to take pot shots at Newt. Q. "Why did you not hand the tape over to the chair of the committee? A. I thought they might try to suppers it. Q. Why did you give the tape to MacDermott? A. I thought it showed that the Speaker had acted illegally. Q. Illegal? How? A [at very great length to be repeated verbatim on CNN twice an hour] As a first time offender the most the Martins could expect to suffer would be a $5000 fine. They could easily recoup that on the chat show circuit. This is the country where Ollie North launched his political career by subverting the constitution and lying to congress and where JO Simpson murdered his wife and got away with it. Don't expect the Martins to be occupying a jail cell any time soon. Newt on the other hand... Phill

I'm guessing that it's probably illegal because the police use them for "secret" conversations, or some such silliness, and don't want Bad Guys to be able to eavesdrop on what's probably a trivially analog-scrambled phone-garbler. Perhaps them good ol' boys have some more devious reason, or even have a law backing them up, but probably not. How soon do you think it'll be before they start busting people for Radio Shack Equipment Smuggling? Why, next thing you know there'll be people sneakin' across the border from Texarkana with pickmeup-truck loads full o' contraband encryption gear as well as the usual Lone Star Beer cans in the back. If I were Radio Shack, and the state did this to me after the police bought a bunch of them for police use, I'd be real upset. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.

Hi all, Check out, Virus Bill Buchanan ISBN 0-515-12011-1 $6.50 paperback Very interesting book about adaptive technology and one possible 'alternate' future. May not be technicaly correct but then again, what prediction is. On a related note (at least future tech predictions), I saw the new book put out by Wired on this issue (don't remember the exact title) in the science section of BookStop. It belongs in the sci-fi section. A bigger pile of wishfull thinking with no realistic view of either technology or society doesn't come to mind immediately. Is definately not a 'buy it'. "For a succesful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature will not be fooled."
