Personally, my main interests is in ensuring the Feds don't tell me I can't have as much security as I want to buy. I don't share the concern quoted above that we have to find ways to give other people security.

I can think of a couple reasons to want other people to be more secure. 1) The more people protect their privacy, the less profit there is in privacy invasion, so that there will be fewer people doing it and the techniques and infrastructure of spying might develop more slowly. 2) The more people protect their privacy, the less privacy afficionados will stand out from the crowd. 3) The more people buy privacy, the more developed the market for privacy techniques and services, and the more private ways of doing things will be available and easy to use. -fnerd - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - spam is in the eye of the beholder (splat) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a aKxB8nktcBAeQHabQP/d7yhWgpGZBIoIqII8cY9nG55HYHgvt3niQCVAgUBLMs3K ui6XaCZmKH68fOWYYySKAzPkXyfYKnOlzsIjp2tPEot1Q5A3/n54PBKrUDN9tHVz 3Ch466q9EKUuDulTU6OLsilzmRvQJn0EJhzd4pht6hSnC1R3seYNhUYhoJViCcCG sRjLQs4iVVM= =9wqs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
