# Feds want to crack computer codes. WASHINGTON (AP) The White House plans
to ask Congress to give police the authority to secretly go into people's
personal computers and crack their security codes. New laws would let cops
get a sealed warrant from a judge to enter private property, search thru
computers for passwords and override encryption programs. Why? Encryption
software for scrambling computer files "is increasingly used as a means to
facilitate criminal activity, such as drug trafficking, terrorism, white-
collar crime and the distribution of child pornography." And tax evasion.

gov't attempts to rape your privacy doomed to fail? Will they try anyway??

"As it happens, maternity wards report that veritable monsoons of babies are
born during storms and full moons, and since our kid's due date coincides
not only with the the rains but with the full moon as well, we're preparing
for him to come blowing out of my wife in such a gust that it will take the
combined efforts of doctors, nurses, midwives, orderlies, physical
therapists, security guards, parking attendants and previously comatose
patients to lash the little sucker down. He will be an El Nino baby lit with
demon moonlight, a child of chaos like the rest of us, counting down the
minutes to the end of the world like the drops of rain that would wash us
away." --Steve Erickson ** http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/sticks.htm#10 **

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
