Since the name of Bobby Inman is coming up in the news this am as
the new DOD head, I thought I'd dig up this tidbit from Bobby Inman about
encryption technology - if this is a view that he still holds it might
not be all that good for the future of real security on the Internet.


"...all parallel non-governmental cryptographic activities..." should
be halted because of the threat they pose to NSA's mission of informantion
collection.


I don't have the exact wording of the 2nd part but the thrust is clear.
