These people banning laptops amongst their peers are the same people who will decide on the future use of crypto by the masses.

This is really encouraging news! Computers would likely lead to increased efficiency in Congress, and *that* isn't in the interests of any of us. These folks are in the business of taking peoples' life, liberty and property, for fun, profit, and ideology. Just about anything that slows them down, including their own mind-numbing stupidity, is a good thing. --John Kelsey, Counterpane Systems, kelsey@counterpane.com PGP 2.6 fingerprint = 4FE2 F421 100F BB0A 03D1 FE06 A435 7E36
