: Senate Democrats are preparing legislation
: that requires universities and other groups
: receiving Federal grants to make their
: communication networks snoopable by the
: government, The Netly News has learned. The
: draft also includes penalties for "unauthorized
: breaking of another's encryption codes," and
: restrictions on importing encryption products.
:
: At a Democratic leadership press briefing,
: Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) yesterday said his bill
: slightly relaxed export rules in exchange for
: greater federal control over crypto imports. But
: what he appears to be truly aiming for is a
: full-scale assault on your right to use whatever
: encryption software you want in your own home.
