But do you have an extension of that analogy for email?
(the registrar strategy, I mean)
Currently there is no way of telling wether or not your email is snooped
on.
There is a far worse prospect, IMHO.
All the measures you're talking about were already on the horizon.
But there was at least some talk about what happened at Waco, and a slight
chance that the SWAT team wannabees among the feds would take some flak.
It's gone now, since the BATF will easily regain legitimacy now that
it has to investigate the OK bombing. Read Nyhan's column in today's
Boston Glob. It's downright prophetic.
