(Philip Zimmermann uses PGP)
The following is a letter from Ken Bass, who is one of the lawyers on my legal defense team, to US Customs. It is mostly self-explanatory. It concerns the PGP investigation.
For those of you unfamiliar with the PGP case, PGP is an email encryption program that is widely used around the world, and was published domestically in the USA as freeware in 1991. As the creator of PGP, I am under investigation by US Customs. They tell my lawyers that they suspect that I violated laws that prohibit the export of encryption software from the USA.
If anyone wants to ask questions about this case, contact my lead defense attorney, Phil Dubois, at 303 444-3885, or dubois@csn.org.

The rest expunged because it infuriates me so... What utter BULLSHIT!!!! (not you Phil, but your treatment by Customs!!) I hope you are contemplating a little legal action of your own. At the least this is harassment. I would be curious if Agent Winters was acting upon his own initiative or whether he was instructed to do this. I suspect the later. Chin up, shoulders back, Phil...
