What somebody needs to do is make a rival for Clipper products. I propose that somebody with enough money should have a Clipper-type chip implementing Triple-DES or whatever developed and marketed. They should do the same things, except not be restricted by the government (obviously this wouldn't be for export) by the means of using weak crypto. These devices could probably be marketed to the same audience that Clipper products are aimed at, i.e. the general unsuspecting populace. The only problem I could see would be educating whoever buys into how the government is pulling the wool over their eyes. I'm sure with some funding from a major source, or some donation of time/supplies from a manufacturing company, it could be pulled off in grand fashion. Who said we can't play the government's little game? This along with some "Big Brother Inside" stickers massively propagated, and it might fly. Any insights?
