In reference to the WSJ article I just added to On the Radar (hope it was ok to add there as well), it really surprised me to see how quickly the government's expectations were set when initially receiving such broad access to data. The reaction to a potential pull back in widespread availability and private sector cooperation indicates a sense of entitlement to all data and an expectation that the private sector is working for them, backed up by the help such access would give in an abduction scenario. Is this entitlement warranted? What does this encryption really mean for consumers and for law enforcement? For anyone who knows more about computers, does the encryption mean law enforcement still cannot get at the information without a warrant, as the article suggests, or just that they would need individualized warrants, like they would in the case of personalized servers discussed in Professor Moglen's speech? Would the encryption guard against access by other private actors to this data?

 Cryptography is a powerful thing and governments have been trying to control it for a very long time. See for example the Clipper chip, Bernstein v US, and the PGP investigation discussed in class.
