10-12 years....that’s just about the time when I remember hearing about the govt wanted something from mfrs with respect to going from 128 bit to 256 bit keys....

I might have to talk with my mom. During WWII my dad would send letters in “code” that they had set up ahead of time. He might write something like “did Aunt Mary make it home okay from her trip?” meant he was back at his home port. “Is Uncle Jim going to Minnesota?” meant he was shipping out to the Marshal Islands or something.

Most (all?) of there letters were opened and censored back then. Hmmm - I wonder if Obama is reading this and we’ll see in his next speech “The Great Franklin Delano Roosevelt also realized that in times of extreme war, extreme measures MUST be taken....” Not mentioning that then it was soldiers and now it is EVERYONE.

It was my impression,( I was the lowest peon on the totem), that the government would have direct access to the network, not just a back door of some sort. I thought the whole time I worked on it, there was NO WAY they would get a warrant for anything. Keep in mind this was back during Clinton and Waco era. I don't think the ME was on his mind, but militia's and the sort.

Today, if you have a conversation with a libtard, they put the Tea Party an the same level as Osama. The most threatening words a LIb can hear is Freedom, Constitution, Founding Fathers, God, ect. Terror surges through their brains to think maybe we could be free once more. The people have been conditioned to think a baby being born alive is "controversial". Or maybe getting a gun permit is "radical". When someone talks about radicals, I say I'm one, I believe in freedom and the Constitution's original intent.

What if everyone used those keywords in all of their communications? Their computers would go into meltdown mode!
