How do we know the proposed legislation wasn't just a smoke screen? Isn't it possible that the Feds have already compromised Intel or MicroSoft? Is there some way to be sure that the new 486 chip running your computer isn't recording each PGP or RSA private key you generate?

If you could actually build a 486 such that it was capable of this task, you are a far better chip designer than any I know of. Not merely are we to expect that the 486 is capable of recording anything, but we are also to expect that its capable of solving a computationally undecidable problem as well. Perry
