Excerpts from internet.cypherpunks: 13-Feb-96 Re: V-chips, CC, and Motorc.. by Bill Frantz@netcom.com
Adding money to the pot will attract rational (and amoral) people who will then make a determination based on (1) profit, and (2) risk, which includes getting caught or killed. It seems to me that Secret Service levels of protection can protect a public figure against even Assassination Politics.
That may well be true, but speaking as someone who's worked on U.S. Presidential campaigns, that kind of protection is expensive, time-consuming, intrusive, and unlikely to be extended. -Declan
