Yes. Benn talk of it for a few weeks at least. They want keys to all encryption and a way to "tap" in at a moment's notice.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MDK Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 11:35 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] anyone know what this is about? http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/19/us/19wiretap.html?_r=1 Quote: An Obama administration task force that includes officials from the Justice and Commerce Departments, the <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/federal _bureau_of_investigation/index.html?inline=nyt-org> F.B.I.and other agencies recently began working on draft legislation to strengthen and expand the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act, a 1994 law that says telephone and broadband companies must design their services so that they can begin conducting surveillance of a target immediately after being presented with a court order. There is not yet agreement over the details, according to officials familiar with the deliberations, but they said the administration intends to submit a package to Congress next year. Another quote: Another proposal would create an incentive for companies to show new systems to the F.B.I. before deployment. Under the plan, an agreement with the bureau certifying that the system is acceptable would be an alternative "safe harbor," ensuring the firm could not be fined. I am obviously not being... anything other that correct to say "People, this is serious..." You can't deploy anything new until the government approves of it, or face massive liability for fines and fees? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
