[ale] Well isn't this special

[greg.freemyer at gmail.com (Greg Freemyer)]

I must admit to being surprised this came from the Obama admin and not
from the Bush one.

I already assume all unencrypted Internet activity can be monitored,
but I also assume encryption can be used to protect communications.

One article I read said the gov't request is to also have a way to
access encrypted communications.

Does anyone know what that's about?  If I encrypt something before it
leaves my computer, how are they planning to wiretap that?
