I took the time to look at this report while stuck on an airplane (we use
Northwest up here) and I'm astonished that the FBI can't do any better than
this. They trotted out the same old anecdotes of this terrorist
"recommending" crypto to friends and that investigation "encountering"
encrypted files whose contents they describe (so what's the big deal if
they can read them, eh?). I wish they'd at least work up some new material.
It's a useful document if you need something to cite as a source of the
FBI's position.
At least I didn't come across any lame assertion of "Crypto is bad, but we
can't tell you why because the details are all classified...." But I might
have missed it.
