if terrorists used compression instead of cryptography,it is not possible to determine that they are terrorists in the first place. If some one knows that,the given person is a terrorist,you can bust him whether or not he uses cryptography.Just because terrorist uses cryptograhy, doesn't allow others to identify him as a terrorist and if you cant identify a terrorist,it is immaterial that he uses crypto or not. This never should be the reason for govt. to moderate cryotography in the future. Sarath. --- Eugen Leitl <eugen@leitl.org> wrote:

Once again I've had to defend the domestic use of encryption technology. My latest "opinion" is at

. I don't know if it's of any value to either of you guys, but I thought I would pass it along anyway.
