Congress Considers Mandatory Crypto Backdoors
disappear writes: "Wired news reports that Congress is considering restrictions on crypto software in the wake of the terrorist attack. 'Nuff said." This will be the next battle -- especially in the wake of this week's tragedies, and the the allegations that the prime suspect Osama Bin Laden is a heavy crypto user. The battle of privacy and safety is going to begin in earnest now.
I agree with a lot of what you had to say. But the idea that we could possibly hit them so hard that no one would ever again DARE to do something like this is absurd. A strike that powerful does not exist. Why would terrorists like these ever fear us? Because we're going to kill them if they try anything? Perhaps you forget that they died doing this. Religious fanatics don't give a damn what you can do. If they die they are going cloaked in the glory of their God and will forever be considered martyrs by their people. We have to respond with something but there will never be a thing we can do to keep religious fanatics and other suicide terrorists scared enough of us as to prevent them from attacking us.
