Crypto is either GAK crackable, or it is real crypto.
There is no such thing as "good faith attempts to balance".
You either have to choose between the best interests of the people,
or the best interests of the ever-paranoid Militia.
I mean the ever-paranoid Military.

Feds' Wacky Pro-GAK Logic
---- ----- --- --- -----
Here are a couple of the wacky reasons they give for everyone wanting GAK.
o Business Will Demand It
They say setting up a GAK infrastructure will form a defacto standard for
interchange of public encryption keys, which business need for
interoperability of the various cryptography products.
Noone has clamored for crackable crypto to be the driving force
behind such a standard.
It's a very silly thing for them to assert.

# The Hughes Aircraft Company is selling a tiny transponder for injection

#
# Effective this year, the federal Food and Drug Administration requires
# every breast implant carry a transponder chip with a unique identifying
# number. A hand-held scanner can read the number much like a supermarket
# scanner.
#
# The reason the government gave for the transponder was that both the doctor
# and patient might lose track of what kind of breast implant was installed,
# and so if a certain model had a recall, they could tell what was installed.
#
#
# The American Textile Partnership, a research consortium linked to the U.S.
# Department of Energy, is sponsoring a research called "Embedded Electronic
# Fingerprint" to develop a transponder the size of a grain of wheat that
# could be attached to a garment until the owner threw it out.
#
# Heretofor, this application has been considered only for security purposes.
#
# The definition of "security", according to the textile industry magazine
# 'Bobbin', has been expanded to include "anti-counterfeit" tracking after

our domestic phone calls, Internet, fax, everything.
I'm going to quote a number of articles and books; they involved talking
to over 100 of these intelligence operatives.
Buy this book: "Secret Power" by Nicky Hager, ISBN 0-908802-35-8.
It describes in detail the ECHELON platform. It's one of the most important.
New Zealand people are quite unhappy at their place within ECHELON.
Buy this book: "Spyworld: Inside the Canadian and American Intelligence
Establishments" By Mike Frost [NSA trained sigint person] and Michel
Gratton, Toronto Doubleday 1994.
Mr. Frost describes missions in the U.S. where he was trained by the NSA
to handle domestic jobs that would be illegal for the NSA.
These books are quite damning, in a heavily documented way.
This is an AMAZINGLY COMPREHENSIVE BOOK: buy it!
"Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996
Buy this book: "The Secret War Against the Jews", Authors: John Loftus and
Mark Aarons, ISBN 0-312-11057-X, 1994. Don't let the title throw you: the
authors spoke with a great many intelligence people, and cleverly probed
NSA/CIA/FBI by submitting items for publication approval, and when they
