[aklug] Re: too quiet...

Bob, you lost me - I spend my days transcoding digital AV files. That
said I used to keep up with privacy issues, stopped keeping up with
digital privacy issues, and hope to get up to speed soon. I suppose
securing communications can be complicated but I don't think it has to
be obtuse.

I guess it's kind of obvious that the more folks that encrypt, the more
power that new NSA facility in Utah will have draw. I suspect, at
present, encrypted email is flagged by NSA, and other government
agencies. If everybody, or at least many, started using encryption, I
suspect the "dark side" just wouldn't be able to keep up - not enough
power would be the problem. I suppose in the long haul encryption will
cost me more in taxes ;) -greg
