The Toronto Metro News of August 17th, contained this delightful goodie, "Canada's top cops want to change the law to force people to surrender the passwords to their electronic devices - if a judge agrees."
R.C.M.P. Assistant Commissioner, Joe Oliver, said; "Baddies, from child-molesters to mobsters, are using encryption to mask their nefarious activities." It's that anonymity that allows them to operate.
The article concluded with the news that the Feds. are looking into it.
Mr. Oliver's comments shouldn't fool anyone. His talk of baddies is to make such an invasion of privacy acceptable to everyone, which Bush did after 9/11.
Let's ignore such talk about it being in the interest of the public, when it's really in the interest of the capitalist class in their attempts to keep the working class under greater surveillance. John Ayers.
