Once most people are fingerprinted, a cheap (say $50) fingerprint scanner that attaches a timestamp and government digital signature will be sold for allowing Internet access to "adult" locations---chat rooms, USENET, WWW sites---and it will be mandatory. The Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court said as soon as the "Internet driver's license" is technically feasible, CDA becomes legal. "Such technology requires Internet users to enter information about themselves--perhaps an adult identification number or a credit card number--before they can access certain areas of cyberspace, 929 F. Supp. 824, 845 (ED Pa. 1996), much like a bouncer checks a person's driver's license before admitting him to a nightclub." * "Project L.U.C.I.D.", by Texe Marrs, 1996, ISBN 1-884302-02-5 * * News reports indicate that, like California, practically all of the 50 * states are in the process of installing news systems for drivers licenses, * often incorporating biometric measurements such as digitization of finger- * prints.

The key is backed up not only by being on several different machines, it is also backed up in the off-line backups for these machines. After JUST ONE WEEK, you'll have 24 total copies of the key (3 + 3*7). After the first month: 214 copies. The government somehow thinks you'll clamor for THEM to backup your key by giving them a copy of the key, and if you lose all of yours... contact the Federal Secretary of Lost Keys. And for this great benefit, they want you to give them Key Recovery access to your cryptographic key. We know what Key Recovery means... By the way, the Government is restricting *communications* products, which use public key cryptography. BY DEFINITION the SENDER will NEVER expect to decrypt the traffic once they've encrypted it; that's the basis for public key cryptography. That's how it works mathematically. By design. So this "spare key" argument makes no sense whatsoever. I shudder to think that most Americans will not understand these admittedly technocratic basic de

On June 27, 1997 a story broke about a new report showing "heavy marijuana use makes the same changes in the brain as cocaine and heroin, and it causes the same withdrawal symptoms in the brain". Only MSNBC reported it this way: Brian Williams said, "A new preliminary study shows that cocaine, heroin, ALCOHOL and marijuana all cause similar changes in the brain over time." But the picture and thrust of the story was still focusing on marijuana. What was COMPLETELY MISSING was shown on C-SPAN the previous day, when Senator Byrd gave an EXTENSIVE presentation showing ALCOHOL WAS THE LEADING GATEWAY DRUG TO COCAINE AND HEROIN USAGE! * "The Emper |
