On January 7, 1997, Gingrich introduced H.R. 41, "Drug Importer Death Penalty Act of 1997", which "mandates that a person convicted of bringing into the United States '100 usual dosage amounts' of several illicit substances -- including two ounces of marijuana -- be sentenced to federal prison for life without parole; a second offense brings the death penalty." # "Dole Calls for Wider Military Role in Fighting Drugs" # By Katherine Q. Seelye, The New York Times, August 26, 1996 # # "I want the Military to expand its use of technology, including # reconnaissance and satellites and area surveillance and listening # posts...and call the National Guard to move in," said Presidential # candidate Bob Dole. # # "In the Dole Administration, we're going to return to what works. We're # going to replace the President's inattention to dangerous drugs with a # clear and forceful policy of zero tolerance." # # "That's ZERO TOLERANCE." # # "ZERO TOLERANCE for drug smugglers. ZERO TOLERANCE for drug pushers. # ZERO TOLERANCE for drugs in the workplace and drugs in school. And # ZERO TOLERANCE for illegal drugs, period." # # "ZERO! ZERO!

Schiller[10] Bruce Schneier[11] Final Report -- 27 May 1997[12] Executive Summary A variety of ``key recovery,'' ``key escrow,'' and ``trusted third-party'' encryption requirements have been suggested in recent years by government agencies seeking to conduct covert surveillance within the changing environ- ments brought about by new technologies. This report examines the fundamental properties of these requirements and attempts to outline the technical risks, costs, and implications of deploying systems that provide government access to encryption keys. The deployment of key-recovery-based encryption infrastructures to meet law enforcement's stated specifications will result in substantial sacrifices in security and greatly increased costs to the end-user.

keyword spotting exclusion logic. I call this software: the Internet Risk Management Analytics. The NSA calls theirs DICTIONARY. The results of monitoring were stunning. Absolutely stunning. If you would like a full copy of the tail, email me with Subject line "Request Monitoring Tale". It is in the form of a complaint against Salomon Brothers. I went public with it after the five attempts to handle the problem internal to Salomon failed, and then the SEC failed to even contact me about the complaint. Anyway, I take advantage of the screwed up situation to explain to you what it means to be monitored by powerful keyword monitoring software. All company names are real. All people's names in security incident reports are changed, as are any proprietary data/numbers. Any personal-personal traffic (the person's own words with outside friends) is changed so it is not the actual traffic that went across, but it will have the same visceral-word impact as the original. Picture yourself inside a company. You are an office worker. Like everyone else you have a desktop computer. It is on the company network. The company has an Internet connection. You can send/receive email over the Internet. Ready? Ready to keyword monitor roughly seven thousand people? Driver's Seat -------- ---- Both sites started with a bang.
