Phil Zimmerman is a privacy enabler, and a friend to anyone who cares about secure digital communications. The fact that encryption technology can be abused by terrorists is no more remarkable than the fact that gun technology, transportation technology, communications technology, biotechnology, and any number of other technologies can also be abused by terrorists.

My company uses VOIP and we encrypt it as far as we can. Company's secrets (which would include more than enough to enable identity theft) should remain secret.

Also what my wife and I are planning to do later in the evening should remain our secret not some hacker or govt listener seeking titilation. I love encryption and I thank Phil Zimmerman for helping us maintain our privacy.

For those that think we don't have to guard our privacy if we aren't doing anything illegal, please let me put a web cam in your bedroom and sell viewing rights on the web (hopefully it'll be interesting enough to make money)

You said -- "Zimmerman is a terrorist enabler."

He's never been considered that. This is something that has never been suggested (or stated) before. So, it's something that is, apparently, "new" with you.

He's been around for quite a long while and there have been court cases surrounding the issue of PGP and getting it out to the public. So, he wouldn't be considered any more of a terrorist enabler than Tyson's Chicken would be if they shipped their chickens to the hills of Pakistan where bin Ladin is hiding out.

LOL! Yes I'm laughing at YOU! and not with you. I suppose computer makers are terrorist enablers too? You drove the IQ level of this thread down by a good 100 points.
