Duncan Frissell sez:
Of particular concern to the authorities are connections with Gary Lauck, self-proclaimed head of America's neo-Nazis, whose organisation in Nebraska is believed to be behind the mailing of a computer disk called "Endsieg" (Final Victory) which contains bomb-making instructions.
It is just this kind of thing that does in fact give me big qualms when considering the enormous consequences of unleashing inexpensive, easy to use, hard voice crypto that is accessible to anyone. I'm not really being a devil's advocate, I'm just sincerely concerned. Sure, this guy may have a nonsense plan or a workable one or perhaps none at all but... It could be the Pandora's box awaiting the opening that the cold war years never quite showed the balls to attempt. In this unstable and angry world with people obviously standing ready to do *anything* they can to get their way, is it appropriate to help them accomplish their deadly and reckless methods? I dunno, but when you feel you hold the key to this in your head and respected people think so too it really make you *stop* and think. On the other hand it is inevitable so why be personally concerned. Peace and Love, Bob -- Bob Cain rcain@netcom.com 408-354-8021 "I used to be different.
