Would the author, anyone at the
S.J. Mercury or at the Department of
Justice care to explain just what
exactly is the the "offense" of

May I remind you, and anyone else
willing to blindly accept government
press releases and "leaks", that
encryption is not only completely legal,
but absolutely vital to the health and
stability of the information age.

It is only scare mongering agencies like
the National Security Agency and the
F.B.I. that are trying to prevent
everyone from protecting their privacy

If it weren't for these
organizations'
subversive behavior, our critical

and we would not be spending billions of

Let's face it, it never pays to listen
to a spy agency on how to protect our
electronic infrastructure.
