If all encrypted traffic is deemed suspicious, then 99.9999999% of the suspicious set -- Amazon transactions, Google searches, SMTP transfers, instant messaging, OkCupid profiles, iTunes purchases, and more -- is totally clean. You'd have statistically better odds by arresting random people on suspicion of murder. The policy would be completely pants-on-head absurd. This leads to a different question: "Is it more likely that this is the real pants-on-head absurd policy, or that the _Forbes_ journo has profoundly misunderstood the subject?" Just because something's been published doesn't mean it should be trusted. Bring your brain -- and when someone tells you something that supports your worldview, look at that thing hard and twice. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
