Incredible that this guy is trying to set technology policy!!!!

Of course, if he acknowledged using PGP, or even acknowledged that
crypto could provide privacy for citizens (as opposed to the military)
all hell would break out with Freeh, et. al. In one of the news articles
I read (San Jose Mercury??) this point was indeed made.

Notice how the government mindset immediately looks to privacy by more
laws, rather than the (in this case, at least) much more efficient
privacy through (relatively straighforward) technology.
