What would Packwood have gained if he had used PGP or DES ?
Nothing but increased notoriety, and the immediate presumption of guilt in the minds of many. "Well, if you don't have anything to hide, then why are you hiding it, huh?" Sadly, many people subscribe, consciously or unconsciously to the sort of thinking that Ed Meese liked to promulgate: "If they weren't guilty, then they wouldn't be suspects." Note that nobody is, as far as I know, trying to extract Packwood's diary by sheer force of arms. -- Lefty (lefty@apple.com) C:.M:.C:., D:.O:.D:.
