Maybe I'm just paranoid, but doesn't this mean that it is now illegal to use anything over 56 bits in the US, and doesn't this give the US Government the unofficial green light to start cracking down on those of us that use encryption? All they gotta say is that they suspected that
we were dealing in child pornography, based on the fact that they monitored encrypted messages leaving from our addresses? It's not that
far of a leap in possibilities after everything else they've done. This is starting to get scary ladies and gentleman. I use 2048 bit encryption, does that make me a porn lover because I use that heavy of
encryption,and encryption period? I feel some very bad days coming down the pike. I just hope that we can do something to stem the tide.
I am getting sick of the crap in congress. May's right, whenever they want to get what they want, they just blurt out that their opposition may support kiddie porn. The only somewhat good measure coming up is SAFE, but that will most likely be struck down by lawmakers. After all, it helps encryption, and that might aid kiddie porn! Seriously, if the citizens ever have a civil war, and we win, then Clinton, the senators opposed to Pro-CODE, and other anti-crypto types should be on trial for abuse of power, violation of citizens' rights, and high crimes against the constitution. I hope it would be public :-) The government in theory works for US. So the question is "What the HELL happened to that?!"
