And next year *is* an election year. If nothing awful happens, it shouldn't be much of an issue, but sooner or later there'll be a big bang made by terrorists who've used crypto in the plotting, & then anyone who opposed the FBI line will get drubbed, perhaps fatally (i.e. they'll lose their seat).
On the other hand a publicized security disaster or "infowar" attack could spin things in the other direction. Jay

Reckon cypherpunks can knock up a few of those. So lets here some ideas for good photogenic infowar attacks which show that the lack of crypto is dangerous. Stuff internet protocols at low level (say DNS) due to lack of crypto and too centralised design? We could do that I think. The guy from alternic rigged DNS root to point at him, we could rig it to point to zip. In the clear or poorly ciphered banking protocols (say private leased lines). etc. Adam -- Now officially an EAR violation...
