Does anyone remember a few years back when a little bill passed at the tail end on the 103rd Congress here in the US? It required half a BILLION dollors be spent to put remote wire tapping equipment on all communication carries. It has a capability of 10000 taps at once. The us has NEVER required more then 1000 taps PER YEAR! That's state and federal combined... No newspaper ever printed that story! Yes we need STRONG encryption (preferably OSS)!
