Kiddie porn. Great, this has to be the government and the media's biggest
"proof" that the Internet is evil and most be censored (CDA). It doesn't
matter if they don't cite cases, in fact it lets the public think it is
fairly common for the DoJ to have to deal with encrypted kiddie porn.
Those darn hackers. I can see it now, the hackers used ssh so the DoJ
couldn't illegally tap (sniff) the computer being accessed. Tools designed
to stop criminal behaviour (hacking) being used by criminals. Those
rascals.
Sounds dangerously like anti-firearm laws. "Honest citizens don't need
guns."
