I spoke at the Electronic Payments Forum here in Boston today, and, tomorrow, the keynote for tomorrow's lunch is Ira Magaziner. (BTW, Bill was speaking tonight at the same hotel the conference is in, probably a bilderberger conspiracy thing, and, when I got out, there was about a thousand protesters, about 80/20 against, complete with one guy dressed as a giant cigar, shades of Butt Man?, and a couple of women with big brunette hair and blue dresses on. With pearl necklaces, of course...) Anyway, In light of more recent crypto-shenanigans from Billary, and the fact that this thing's a small crowd, I figured I'd ask if anyone on these lists had a question they wanted me to ask him. One I want to ask, right off the top of my head is, "Given your recent successes in regulating foreign cryptography, what's your timetable for regulating domestic cryptography?" ;-). (To the extent that they already *do*, or not, I'll leave as an exercise for the reader...) Cheers, Bob Hettinga ----------------- Robert A.
