      When google is the referrer, they never require login, but on many occasions, I'm able to successfully follow HN links to NYTimes articles and not end up with a 'login required.' I'm not sure why.

Is this really what "the people" need in a recession? When will it be evident that it doesn't matter who is in charge, the government is always intent on encroaching our privacy? Remember that the "patriot act" was written well before 9/11, sitting, just waiting for the right opportunity.

  Why should it matter what the people want or need? There is power to be had and campaign-contributions to be made.

Here's a bit of background: The original NYTimes Charlie Savage article from September breaking the news the that "crypto wars" may be heating up again: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/27/us/27wiretap.html http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/27/us/27wiretap.html Blog pointing out that current law specifically allows for encryption, and that what the Feds are after could be a significant change: http://paranoia.dubfire.net/2010/09/calea-and-encryption.html http://paranoia.dubfire.net/2010/09/calea-and-encryption.htm...
