I used to have a collection of COMSEC posters, which were at best inane. Sort of in the same vein as a T shirt, how about: CRIPPLED PRIVACY: [ Artwork of MYK-78A ] / (or replace with Uncle SAM pointing finger) N ever S ay A nything you DON'T want overheard. or [ Artwork of MYK-78A ] (identifying legend) Cryptographically Secure from all but Government TYRANNY or Does PRIVACY have to be a choice between being eavesdropped on by anybody OR the U.S. GOVERNMENT? SECURE CRYPTO is the ultimate FREE SPEECH! or [ Artwork of Robot Cop, from THX 1138 ] [ speech bubble "Are you now, or have you ever been ... ? ] A country that can have the McCarthy Era has no business allowing its government to spy on its Citizens. BAN MANDATORY PHONE BUGS! or [ Artwork of SPY with headphones ] PRIVACY is not having to worry about being overheard by the government. FREE SPEECH doesn't end at the your phone handset. Unfortunately George Orwells 'Animal Farm' isn't widely enough read to us quotes for making the point. Its probably only applicable after the other shoe drops anyway. Did you notice that the artwork in Dorthy Dennings 'American Scientist' article showed a minority member with headsets listening to a decoded clipper phone conversation? One wonders if this was intended as a propoganda ploy to disarm as being Politically unCorrect (PUNC) critizism of the action? What we need is a national talk show host/comedian belittling the governments plan.
