Why the FBI's plan to require weak security in all American technology is a terrible, terribleidea
Bruce Schneier's editorial on CALEA-II is right on. In case you missed it, CALEA II is the FBI's proposal to require all American computers, mobile devices, operating systems, email programs, browsers, etc, to have weak security so that they can eavesdrop on them (as a side note, a CALEA-II rule would almost certainly require a ban on free/open source software, since code that can be modified is code that can have the FBI back-doors removed).Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/l5oHH-LXgF4/story01.htm
