Hi all I can just see the FBI screaming "we need weaker encryption to combat terrosism on US soil" with nasty effects -- it seems all to many people, lawmakers included, will be only to happy to sacrifice their privacy that the FBI can better combat these terrorist acts (which could *of course* could been prevented had only the FBI been able to read their encrypted mail...) Somehow I got the feeling watching CNN that the FBI was given a shitload of ammo. Call me cynical but the Reichstag fire comes to mind...
