It is often in the interest/whim of the executive to decline to prosecute its own, even if only to save embarassment, so many of these cases will never see a jury. That's why you need citizen prosecutors who can bring cases before both grand and final jury. For example, how many times have you seen a LE vehicle failing to signal, speeding/reckless, with broken running lights, etc... now try to criminally (not administratively) prosecute that just as you might be prosecuted for same. > their own secrecy is the best and > strongest (though even then, not fail-safe) guaranty of non-use for > criminal investigations. Didn't the requisite construction of plausible paths from tainted seed just get covered. So, No! The only guaranty against secret taint is transparency. Try removing the 'non-' next time. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
