For God's sake, what is the obsession with pedophiles?? How many pedophiles pgp encode their porn??
Seriously, they try to grasp at the smallest things. If I lock my porn in a 40 ft thick steel safe, does that mean I have to give uncle sam a key if they ask? US Government restrictions (and a few other anal countries out there), are getting silly. When the law is being made by people who don't understand the problem, people who don't understand the benefits, and people who have no clue what they are making the laws for, then we have a serious issue on our hands and it's time we start thinking about getting some knowledgable people into office.
