Re: DId you ever think...

Peter Beckman says:

Did anyone ever think that maybe, just maybe, PGP was developed, and before the programmer started giving it away for free, that he was paid by the government to give them the key which can unlock ANY PGP locked document/file/etc???

Individuals without much to do and with active fantasy lives can always come up with interesting paranoid scenarios, so I'm sure someone has thought this. However, because the complete source code to PGP is available and has been read by many people, the odds that this has been done are as close to zero as one could care to name. Perry
