FBI Considers CALEA II: Mandatory Wiretapping On Every Device
Techmeology writes "In response to declining utility of CALEA mandated wiretapping backdoors due to more widespread use of cryptography, the FBI is considering a revamped version that would mandate wiretapping facilities in end users' computers and software. Critics have argued that this would be bad for security (PDF), as such systems must be more complex and thus harder to secure. CALEA has also enabled criminals to wiretap conversations by hacking the infrastructure used by the authorities. I wonder how this could ever be implemented in FOSS."
I suggest merging & optimizing the letters used for agencies. All those agencies could be covered with just the letters A.S.S.H.A.T.S.
American Security State/Homeland Anti-Terrorists System?
