Righteous. Law enforcement, big brother, and 'the man' can take it in their ringpiece.All communication should be encrypted afaic. 'The man' has been able to snoop on communications for quite some time - a helluvalotta good it's done for preventing terrorism (which is the premise upon which they excuse infringements on our privacy.)It's all a crock of s**t. All this terrorism crap just screams 1984.The more encryption is available to the public, the better.
