Can someone explain the difference between key recovery and key escrow?
Key escrow is where your keys are held by one or more trusted and supposedly independent third parties, on reciept of a court order they would release the keys.
Kind of like trusting a friend not to bugger you while you are drunk and passed out. (But he can't prevent the police from hauling you in for public intoxication and locking you up with someone who might do so.)
But in the end it all comes down to GAK (government access to keys), same shit, different name.
This is much like having a Dominatrix who chains you to the toilet and brings out a mixed bag of utensils and instruments which are about to be used for purposes that are a far cry from what they were created for, and to access areas that Nature never intended to be subjected to large amounts of sunshine. Perhaps someone should come out with a GAK T-shirt which has a citizen "assuming the position" while a GAK cop stands behind him with a crowbar stuck halfway up the citizen's ass, and saying, "If you don't have anything to hide, then you have nothing to worry about."

Yes, reminds me of last night, I fortunately escaped being buggered however.

Yes, a notable change of style, fuckmonger perhaps?

This has given me an idea. I think I will have just such a T-Shirt made up "GAK: Government access to Krevices ;-)" You never know what one of those nasty terrorists has stuck up their ass.
