My hope is that before we get to a place in this country where we market
trunks of cars that
cannot be opened … closets that can never be opened … or smartphones that
can never,
ever be opened, that we have a conversation—...
But that should apply alike to govenrment agencies as a guard against abuse of
power.
Would I want records of FBI surveillance of MLK encrypted with only J. Edgar
Hoover
holding the key? No. Would I want the Pentagon Papers encrypted with only
Robert
McNamara holding the key? No. Would I want the Iran-Contra PROFS archives
encrypted with only Oliver North holding the key? No. Would I want the
Watergate
transcripts encrypted with only Richard Nixon holding the key? No.
Etc.
