Clipper (again)

This is probably erroneous logic but... 1. Mr Davis of The New Republic sends parts of his article via modem. The article (unencrypted) is intercepted by persons unknown. Mr. Davis receives a cryptic (pun intended) call in his room about the transmissions. 2. The Clinton Administration wants Clipper to facilitate monitoring of communications. 3. The Government would escrow clipper keys. 4. What keeps someone in a high government office from misusing these keys? Especially since item 1 is illegal due to antiwiretap laws anyway? I e-mailed a copy of this to Rush...since a lot more people are excited about Whitewater than about Clipper, it seems like it might make a decent tie-in... Comments? Regards, Dave
