writes Phil Karn:
Of course, the Religious Right is at odds with the current government, what with talk of using the federal racketeering laws against anti-abortion demonstrators. So perhaps they can be forgiven for their current anti-government stance. Their tune might well change if they ever succeed in overturning Roe V Wade. Imagine their glee turning to horror when they discover that those satanic pro-choice people are using encryption to coordinate *their* protests and perhaps even to coordinate travel by women seeking abortions to places where it is still legal. :-)
I wonder if they know that the idea was developed during a republican administration?
And there's supreme irony in the right to encryption and the right to abortion both being founded in the same basic concept: personal privacy. It all depends on whose ox is being gored, I guess.
