From: Pubkeybreaker on 18 Apr 2008 20:55 because the Government has screwed around with it. o Killing the CALEA legislation, which orders all communications equipment be DESIGNED so the Government can spy on it. o Dismantling domestic ECHELON, the Government listening in on our domestic phone calls. o A Cabinet-level U.S. Privacy Commission, with teeth. ---- The "average" American has no idea why cryptography is important to them. It is the only way to begin preventing massive illegal domestic spying. Currently, there are no restrictions on domestic use of unlimited strength cryptography. That is not because the Government hasn't complained about child pornographers or terrorists or other criminals who might use it. No, that's the reason they are giving for why U.S. companies can't EXPORT products, such as web browsers, outside U.S. territory, without compromising it with Government "Key Recovery"; i.e. made stupider and breakable. Why such an indirect control on what they claim is a domestic problem? Because that is how 'The Creeping Police State' works. Slowly, bit-by-bit. Slowly, State-by-State everyone in the U.S. is being fingerprinted. The FBI is now advocating biometric capture of all newborns too. This is an int

15 1997 * * The telephone companies, after meeting with the FBI, said they wanted to * be able to monitor tens of thousands of conversations simultaneously in * metropolitan areas, much more than their stated intention of simply * trying to transfer its current surveillance capabilities into the * digital era. * * And the Cellular Telephone Industry Association said the FBI wanted to * monitor 103,190 cellular calls simultaneously nationwide. * * Lawyers for AT&T Wireless Services said, "The numbers alone are astounding." * * "This is kind of scary," said Tom Wheeler, CTIA president. "What does * the FBI know about our future that we don't?" ---- You cannot assign people one-to-one to control everyone in a society. But you can control society in a HIGHLY effective way using cybernetics, and do so COST EFFECTIVELY. That's one of the things CALEA is about, cost effectiveness of maintaining the spying infrastructure when there are so many companies, new technologies, so many different data formats.
