One issue is how do you tell the decryption process what to decrypt? There has to be some flag that says 'don't decrypt Aunt Millies pics' but decrypt this 'xxxxxxxx'
Those flags are all that's necessary to start the process of breaking the encryption
Only the bottom type of plastic even mentions that it's number '7', which the others are is an exercise left to the reader.
Obviously the first is 1, second 2, etc. but jeebus, using a link that says "these are what the numbers mean" without actually labeling the descriptions with the actual numbers?
Eh I'd say it was about expectations. The Shuttle was supposed to be cheap and reusable. The Apollo craft were never intended as such.
So when the Shuttle, instead of turn around times of weeks, became months and years at significant repeated expense, it doesn't meet the goals it was supposed to fulfill.
It did amazing things but it was supposed to do that AND be cheap and reusable.
Sounds the gov is missing the bigger picture. Compel Apple to work with Toyota to record all conversations and report back when they hear terrorists talking
You know the signs that say "wifi for customers"? you aren't a customer forever. My local McDs has it clearly posted you get 30 minutes of usage with a purchase.
The comparison of airport security and the voluntary forfeiture of certain rights isn't even fair.
The sacrifice of rights at the airport is to prevent a clear and present danger of the plane exploding or being hijacked.
Despite 15 years of Gov't insinuation, there hasn't been anything close to clear and present danger that the data searches would qualify to sacrifice our rights.
Now would be a good time to ask Comcast or your overlord,err ISP, what their current MAX speed is so as to set your bar of what they are actually giving you...

Not saying they wouldn't try it but it's a LOT harder to make that a winning argument.

The scope of it was different, but not the concept. It was shorter in duration and affected fewer works, but the proscription was still the same.

Re: Cape Canaveral on the moon
If we can also generate resources from the moon, that's a big bonus.
I've never understood the concept of proofing technology somewhere that's 2 years away from rescue.

One of my favorite questions for friends is 'do you know your state representatives?' invariably I get the answers of their US House reps.
NOBODY knows people at the state level, let alone local levels. These people get to do basically cart blanche as they frequently even run unopposed.
THAT's where this starts.
