US drafting plan to allow government access to any email or Web search
Without this law, anybody plotting a terrorist attack is going to use encryption, so why bother? If you won't be able to understand the only people that you claim you want to watch, then why pass a law saying you can look at everything everywhere anytime with no notice or accountability?
I lack expertise in this area, but I've read some good stuff about the security features of the BSD operating system.
It seems the interest in encryption has been decreasing for the past 4 years or so. I wonder if this policy will have an effect on that trend.
Seagate has released a full encryption drive, which would not protect against this policy, but would protect against your data from theft of your drive physically.
What would help against this policy is OpenPGP.
