The NYT has a fairly good OpEd on encryption today,
written by a novelist, who makes a good case for
the citizen's need for the privacy protection, now that
there are a zillion ways computers pry into private
affairs.
http://www.nytimes.com
For those outside the US: NYT today began its free
worldwide online service, so the whole world can log
on to its prying computers. (Non-USes heretofore
had to pay for privacy loss.) It claims to have 4 million
daily online consumers and is happy to run an advertiser
drivern operation to suck in millions more around the
planet.
Take note, Slate.
