Mike Godwin stated that the FBI agent said something like " "we can lie to you, but you can't lie to us." That has always been true under 18 U.S.C. 1001. But now you can't even answer one of their questions with a "no" if the truthful answer would be "yes." You should read up on this, it's scarier than Clipper and the digital telephony proposal combined.
Of course you can still refuse to say anything which is what you should have always done in any case. I wonder that if you tell the agents that you reserve the right to lie -- in other words disclaim an oath. Swear to lie. If you can beat such a rap. DCF
