On my ride home today I was listening to a security podcast that had a lawyer from the EFF on as a guest. They discussed search and seizure laws and your rights on using encryption technologies. They discussed Amendment IV and Amendment V issues. It was PaulDotCom Episode 243 there's a link to the video version of the show on the show's wiki page. http://pauldotcom.com/wiki/index.php/Episode243 -- David _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
