PGP to the rescue?

From: Christopher Cotton <regis@MIT.EDU> Date: Mon, 14 Mar 1994 00:16:27 -0500 ELECTRONIC EAVESDROPPING A measure soon to be introduced on Capitol Hill would require that all network providers, including the Internet and commercial on-line services, build in the capability to record any person's e-mail and deliver it to federal law-enforcement authorities. Government agents will need only to show a person merits investigation, rather than obtain a court order as is the case for telephone eavesdropping. (Business Week 3/14/94 p.55)
