I have been suprised at how wide the knowledge of the Wiretap Chip has spread. (and how quickly!) My mom even heard about it before I could tell her. Most of the people I've talked to don't like the idea of the gov't having the keys. These people came to this conlusion on their own. The sources of their information might be biasing their view. :-) I heard a commentary on National Public Radio that was against it! Keep up the fight. It's not a loosing battle. There is also a bright side to this battle. Look at all the free publicity that privacy has gotten. Our gov't has given ground in the early rounds of the negotiation by stating there is a right to encryption. They want to completely control that right to encryption, and this we will fight and win. -----tactic I recommend telling people about the freedom and privacy gained in other countries by their use of PGP. Tell them that the secret police can no longer spy on their citizens as effectively. privacy == freedom no privacy == tyranny Peter Baumbach baumbach@atmel.com Boycott the KGB chip Boycott the IRS chip
