> Says Stewart A. Baker, Chief Counsel for the NSA, writes in Wired: But not for long... I understand he's resigned, and will be leaving NSA tomorrow (Friday, May 13th). Wonder what his next illustrious position will be... Well, I'd put a dollar on him taking up some civilian post where he can influence the acceptance of Clipper through industry. Managing director of an electronics firm. Or head of one of the escrow agencies perhaps. That how things work here in Britain anyway - most of our big company top management are ex spooks. Especially in the armaments and military-related side of things, like aircraft companies. In Baker's case I'd guess a telephone company. Much more likely that or something else civilian than another govt post like NIST or the FCC. G
