But first-

consider your freedom(s)..

watch the space between those whiny assed anti war protestors/hypocrites who'd be first in line for the guns if their families were hurt in an "incident" and those trying to establish "draconian" controls on existing freedoms and introducing,largely irrelevant, new laws,which in effect curtail their OWN people's freedoms.

Consider who benefits IN THE LONG RUN.

The price of Liberty is YOUR eternal vigilance.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin



"Never has our ability to shield our affairs from prying eyes been at such a low ebb. The availability and use of secure encryption may offer an opportunity to reclaim some portion of the privacy we have lost. Government efforts to control encryption thus may well implicate not only the First Amendment rights of cryptographers intent on pushing the boundaries of their science, but also the constitutional rights of each of us as potential recipients of encryption's bounty."

US Appeals Court Judge Betty Fletcher
