    Rick, If I had a recording of me talking with 3 terrorists planning to blow up some federal building, would I not be able to use it? Would I be liable to arrest for hidden recording?

    As a public high school teacher I have often thought of hiding a video camera doing constant recording of class. I have been assaulted several times and kids often curse me out. Yet, because I am in Illinois I can't legally do this??

  25. Quantum Encryption--not needed on Physicists Store, Retrieve a "Squeezed Vacuum" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With the Internet why is Quantum Encryption needed?

    If you have an algorithm that can be run on 2 computers separated by distance, you can stream IP packets into several different strands that are relayed through several P2P servers just to confuse things and then reassembled at the destination machine. You could even add in false information that would be filtered out. In fact, a youtube video received by both computers could be used as the "carrier" the same way a one-time use cipher pad was used in the old days.

    When messages can be sent in chunks at electron speeds via different routes, I do not see how it is even theoretically possible to decrypt them. You can't listen to every bit of traffic, there is simply too much of it.
