I thinat in the case of  n reading back over the debate about mail encryptionthrough the encryption debate,my main thought seems to be,like the someone said earlier, that really the thing to push for is a mass people's movement to encrypyt all mail as a matter of course, with the tools to encrypt/decrypt be ing programs whose source code is freely published and open to scrutiny.Ultimately,if ALL mail, of any kind is routinely encrypted and decrypted using a suitable encryption metheod,privacy will be something we will tajke for granted.This right should be guaranteed via a Constitutional amendment.The decreasing cost of silicon will make this increasingly practical, and the money saved through the curtailment of credit card fraud,etc. (uncrackable digital suignatures would also have a side-benefit in that they would eliminate most credit card fraud.)would make this a win win situation..(except fotr the spooks and the crooks..) -Chris.
