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.
