Speaking of ringing hollow... How does having keys to my house keep somebody from throwing a fire bomb on it, or driving a car through it? It don't. It's a bait and switch. After it's burned down or a big hole in its side a key is rather redundent. On Fri, 21 Sep 2001, Declan McCullagh wrote:

Crypto Op-Ed: Privacy No Longer an Argument posted by admin on Thursday September 20, @11:39PM
M. W. Guzy has a provocative and not entirely coherent essay in Wednesday's St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Excerpt: "(Then-Senator John) Ashcroft wrote that mandating deciphering tools was tantamount to requiring 'individuals to surrender the keys to their house... to the FBI just in case they are someday suspected of breaking the law.' Somehow, that argument rings a little hollow when viewed through the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center
