a point---terrorism was always
referred to as being by "foreign" agents.
After the explosion, President Clinton called for FBI agents to be able to
tap phones at will, as they can do now for organized crime. In other words,
not only was there the OKC bombing terroristic act, the Government freedom
terrorists then demanded even greater Police State powers over all of us.

In 1794, James Madison pointed out "the old trick of turning every
contingency into a resource for accumulating force in the government."

I don't know any terrorists or foreign agents.
But the government seems to know plenty of people who are terrorists.

:
* I was studying, alone at the school library, on the night of Jan 28.
* At about 8:30 a large man, 6 feet tall, came up and shoved a paper in
* front of me. It said 'subpoena' and had my name on it. He flashed what
* looked like a badge and said 'We want you to come with us.'
*
* He had a gun in a holster at his waist.
*
* He took my left arm and handcuffed me to his right arm.
*
* Another man --- he also showed a gun --- came over and grabbed me
* roughly by the right arm. They took me out to a dark burgundy car,
* cuffed my hands in front of me and shoved me into the back seat.
*
* We drove for some time when they made me face backwards. In a
* residential area we drove into a garage and I was taken into the
* house, into a big bare room with a cement floor. There was a big
* metal desk.

that I would call
"Click-Crime".
People who come across child pornography, and for whatever wrong reason
save a copy of the picture. They didn't mean to become vile heinous
doomed-to-burn-in-hell creatures; it's just one of those things where people
make the wrong decisions when encountering something in the privacy of
their own home.
As the government monitors the Net closer, they will spot tens of
thousands of these people. They've already arrested hundreds of them.
* FBI sting nets over 200 arrests for child pornography
* 6/97 stat: 94 convictions, 104 "pending" convictions
It's not hard to spot them, and may I point out that it happens despite
free uncrackable encryption (PGP) being available worldwide for years.
Yeah, I know, it's heresy to try and suggest there's a category called
"child pornography light". Here are some sample cases of the broad base
of people involved:
* The New York Times, 3/6/97
* Minister Gets Probation in Pornography Case
*
* A Baptist minister who copied child pornography images off the
* Internet received three years' probation in exchange for his
* guilty plea to a reduced charge.
*
* He must pay a $1,000 fine, forfeit his home computer, not have
* any unsupervised contact with children under 17 and undergo
* counseling.
*
* The minister, 47, was arrested in January.
*
* Computer technicians at a repair shop had found 30 pornographic
* images of children in his computer and notified the state police.

There is an ugly implication to ECHELON being the reason Netscape and company
are being held hostage by the NSA.

Key Recovery Isn't Even Feasible
--- -------- ----- ---- --------
http://www.epic.org
Distinguished cryptographers and computer scientists have released a new
report, "The Risks of Key Recovery, Key Escrow, and Trusted Third-Party
Encryption."
The report follows an earlier recommendation of the OECD that the risks of
key escrow encryption be considered before key escrow infrastructures are
established. The report concludes "The deployment of a global key-recovery-
based encryption infrastructure to meet law enforcement's stated specifications
will result in substantial sacrifices in security and greatly increased costs
to the end-user."
