Then you miss the point of full-time encryption. This forces mallet to
decrypt all data. If you only use encryption to protest 'important' stuff
then you shouldn't bother encrypting it. People should be using encryption
as a matter of course. One of the primary goals of H18 is to build in
encryption to all levels of P9.

One of the first things I'd like is to see DES replaced as the default
protocol. Dedicated FPGA cracker is <$50k US.

The more fundamental problem is that it's the same sort of
misunderstanding it entails regarding inter-personal relations. It's the
same as saying "Unless you have something to hide you shouldn't mind a
search". Individuals aren't property (at least not in American democracy).
This sort of view is more fascist (in the sense of private property and
public management).

As O.H. Wilson (I think he's the right bioligist) who was asked his
opinion of socialism. He said something akin to "Nice theory, wrong
species."
