There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Netscape and other companies --- the U.S. is a world leading producer of software technology --- are having their products outlawed for world-wide distribution because of ECHELON. Ubiquitous full-strength crypto --- in all our email products and web browsers --- would immediately begin to lessen ECHELON's ability to spy in such a massive dragnet fashion. There is an ugly implication to ECHELON being the reason Netscape and company are being held hostage by the NSA.

[ The Secret Service is apparently unaware that 2600 magazine is the world's preeminent above-ground hacker zine, subscribed to by members of security departments all over Wall Street (at the least). It is filled with fascinating information, highly useful for securing one's systems. Here's a random sample factoid from 2600: although on-site company switches are commonly programmed to block '900' number calls, there is a hole in the programming logic that always lets '555' exchange numbers through. ("Information wants to be free") Companies that advertise 900 numbers take advantage of this. For example, even though you can't dial most 900 numbers, you can still call numbers like USA Today's 1-900-555-5555, which are specifically chosen to get around the 900 programming restrictions. Oh yeah: I remember another one that triggered fi
