I'm still waiting for RIP-USA to rear its ugly mug.
I think, if they do that, they kill internet commerce.
How so? Our communications and financial systems are already pretty transparent and yet commerce of all sorts is going full steam. States and municipalities are eager to have tracking SW installed at vendors who sell into their states. It will happen eventually : the Big Bro tax tracker and business license manager thread will be required. And businesses will not stop operating over the phone, through catalogs and on the internet. The part of RIP that I'm expecting to surface soon is the LEA access to plaintext for both communications and stored data. THEY ( the black helicopter, cattle slashing, alien dissecting, door crashing, head-stomping, universal snooper folks ) need that to protect our children from Osama Bin-NAMBLA. And to collect taxes. Don't they? Mike
