      If I remember right, that was the whole Clipper chip fiasco.  They
      got denied on that one, they wanted a backdoor into all
      encryption.<br>
      <br>
      I'm sure that if I ever got on their radar, they could crack
      whatever precautions I use, but why make it easy for them? 
      Besides, there are others out there to protect yourself against as
      well.  People trolling wifi connections for clear text passwords,
      unscrupulous members of ISPs or any owners of any of the hardware
      between me and my destination.  It's best to be cautious, I
      think.  Various plugins for browsers are making it easier to surf
      the web with some kind of protection without causing too many
      issues.  It's not as hard as it once was.  I just wish email was
      encrypted by default.  That would help a lot.<br>

        easily crack it and it violated some national security law
        (ironic isn't it?).  I think it would be difficult for anyone or
        any group to stymie the NSA on this front.  They just have too
        many resources and employ too many sharp cookies that thrive on
        decrypting the most difficult and world class encryption
        schemes.  The best bet might be to just try and fall back on
        whatever Constitutional protections are available such as the
