Fortunately the bill stalled and has never been brought back up. -- a little twist: how about if you are found guilty and you were using encryption to cover up misdeeds, tack on additional 10-15 years. DA can use that additional 10-15 yr as a bargaining tool to get access to encrypted data.
So you'd force them to incriminate themselves? That's more unconstitutional than baning encryption. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINEThe NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
