mistake on my part
Perry Metzger <perry@imsi.com> writes on cpunks:
I made a small mistake -- the new bill does *not* make it a crime to make crypto software available at Egghead -- but it does more or less make distribution of crypto software over the internet impossible if it isn't an escrow based system.
I thought there was some kind of "read my lips" type statement about not mandating key escrow a short while ago. Making it illegal to not use escrow on the internet (in the US and certain materials) sounds dangerously close to mandating key escrow. Also I remember one list member making a prediction, that as they'd said _definately no key escrow_, that you could bet your ass that meant exactly the opposite, and that it would rear it's head anytime soon. I think the poster even had a prediction in terms of months, but don't have the original post handy, looks like he was right. Anyway these things are in stages: 1. voluntary key escrow 2. mandatory key escrow for certain materials 3. mandatory key escrow across the board If they pull this off stage 2, I wonder how long till stage 3, I think it'll be time to leave the sinking ship while exit visas are still granted!

Seriously! Looking for a place that: (1.) is reasonably free (2.) permits Americans to work (3.) a person trained as an engineer can earn enough to feed and shelter self and 4 dependents. Any suggestions?
