That is why it is a choice. But remember that the brief here is to prevent the illegal use of government wiretapping capabilities and in particular end military intercept capabilities. The number of generals who have staged coups against democracies in the name of protecting democracy is very long. Preventing covert intercept and bulk intercept are the common concern. Preventing a lawful disclosure of stored data under court order is another issue entirely. _______________________________________________ Endymail mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/endymail
