Smart folks will run another crypto on top of clipper; you really
DO want to run clipper, otherwise your traffic stands out from
everyone elses, but you want your own crypto under that so that
they still can't decrypt your stuff if they go get the keys (with
or without a warrant).
As long as they don't pass a law that says that any thing other
than clipper is illegal, smart people will have a way to engineer
around, though the technically clueless will be screwed, of course.
Is there a betting pool out there on when they will crank through
the "crypto act of 1994" banning all but gov approved crypto?
Is Vegas setting odds yet? The guys in Vegas know something about
crypto too, after all...
