Re: JAP back doored
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/jk-02.09.03-005/ German police have searched and seized the rooms (dorm?) of one of the JAP developers. They were on the look for data that was logged throughout the period when JAP had to log specific traffic. The JAP-people say that the seizure was not conform with German law. They suggest that the police was afraid that they wouldn't gain the right to use this data before a normal court. So they "stole" it to make things clear. And since the JAP team did cooperate with them the previous time they now have the logs to get seized. I'll bet the logs weren't encrypted. Fools. steve Anarchy may not be a better form of government, but it's better than no government at all.

That's the cool bit about playing by the law; they can ignore it, ruin people's lives, and then get a month off with pay while their actions are investigated.
