Q. Who will hold the escrowed keys?
. The government.
All this bullshit doesnot state that a court order is required, rather 'legal authorization', which means the NSA for foreign intellingence purposes without a court order. Perhaps what is needed is statuatory protection to prevent the NSA from eavesdropping on U.S. Citizens, communicating domestically, without a court order. Lets close a loop hole - no more SHAMROCK

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) requires a court order for such taps. --Mike

I seem to remember something about this from The Puzzle Palace. Am I mistaken, or are such orders not made by a special court, which holds secret proceedings and which, so far as is known, has never denied a request? Perry
