Presumably, the reports to be destroyed include everything to do with crypto. ... Not only is the government removing much material from its websites it is also asking depository libraries (which are sent government reports free) to remove and destroy many government reports--because of the recent terrorist incidents.
Yet another cypherpunk idiocy, the idea that the government is scurrying about trying to get information on cryptography out of libraries. A good example of the narrow focus and lack of reasoning on the part of cypherpunks. The government is trying to make it harder to get sensitive information related to infrastructure vulnerabilities. It has no interest in suppressing information on a widely used technology like crypto. You might as well predict that they will pull all the books about the internet off library shelves in order to try to improve network security. And by the way, Marc de Piolenc, what happened to your assignment about using Chaumian credentials to improve air travel security? You were given the favor of pointers to Chaum's papers; you were expected to provide something back in return, quid pro quo. Why don't you work on that instead of inflicting unfounded opinions on the group?
