FAQ's
Perhaps someone should cook up a frequently asked questions sheet
with regard to our position on the Wiretap chip proposal?
Something bent a little more in the direction of consequences
and not promises?
Q: What will the Clipper Chip really mean for Privacy?
A: The Clipper chip bills itself as the answer to a nations right
for privacy, when indeed it is less secure than many of the algorithms

handing the government your login password and accepting the promise,
"We'll only use it with proper authorization..."
Admittedly my example is less than eloquent, perhaps someone
can come up with better? Given this format, and if the
questions and answers are kept in layman's terms, it could reasonably
be distrubuted to some of the less technical news groups and things
like comp.mac.comm and such....
