[from SF Examiner somewhere around 12-14 April 96] .............................................................................. "IRS Worker Took Peek at Celebrities' Records" [Associated Press] Memphis - A former IRS employee who said boredom had led him to peek at the tax records of President Clinton, Elvis Presley and other famous people has been acquitted of federal charges. Robert Patterson, 38, said it wasn't malicious - he was just trying to learn how to better use the Internal Revenue Service computers. "I was sitting there bored, so I started punching up names," said Patterson. ..............................................................................

Hmmm. _We_ do it, it's "malicious cracking/hacking" and they toss us in the clink... _they_ do it, and it's "practice" (and they get acquitted). And _these_ are the people who want to escrow _my_ keys? As IF!

I have a solution to this problem. Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
