Before Jack Straw became UK roving arms salesman he was Jack the
RIPa.
Operation Dear Jack
The Electronic Commerce Bill would make it a crime to fail to
give up the decryption key to a message if a policeman thinks you've got
it. If you haven't got it, it is up to you to prove you haven't. If you
can't prove it, you would be liable for 2 years in jail.
STAND sent this letter to Jack Straw,
Home Secretary, with an encrypted confession to a real crime in it. We
also made it look as though Jack Straw had the decryption key. Here is
our photostory: we'll be relying on these photos to try and convince the
judge that we didn't keep a copy of the key; Jack will have to come up
with another argument
