Sure, Clinton did not actually claim that encryption was a factor, but it was there by implication, and the average citizen seeing his proposals would come to that conclusion. Denying this specifically, you'd be "points ahead" and would be in a better position to shut down those trying to restrict encryption.
When Clinton closed Pennsylvania Avenue to vehicular traffic, he cited the private plane that crased on the South Lawn as one of the reasons for the tighter security. But closing the road north of the White House would surely not have kept an airplane at bay. If the Feinstein amendment passes (outlawing "bomb-making information"), will the Congressional Record be censored? Will Joe Biden be held accountable for making the material available? -- rgds-- TA (tallard@frb.gov) I don't speak for the Federal Reserve Board, it doesn't speak for me. pgp fingerprint: 10 49 F5 24 F1 D9 A7 D6 DE 14 25 C8 C0 E2 57 9D
