>You’re attacking a straw man. I never proposed anything other than recognizing the cost of encryption. I assume you're referring to this sentence in my comment: What you seem to be advocating is that everyone's privacy should be forfeited so police can get information without doing, you know, police work. Note that I said seem. Which, in this context, means that's what I understood you to be saying. Thank you for clarifying. What's more, I'm not attacking anything or anyone. Rather, I'm expositing my views WRT encrypted communications and police work. That you interpreted the expression of my views as an attack says more about you than about me, IMHO.
