Or Maybe you can share something better with us, all knowing and wise one. His reply was perfectly intelligent. Why don't you answer his question: Why pick on cryptography and not the other items in the list? Why not simply require that government respect the right of individuals to engage in private conversation? If someone commits a `crime' without using cryptography is there less harm to society than if they did use cryptography? What is there about your proposal that might make anyone think that it wasn't completely ridiculous? Rick
