[Sheflug] Encryption

[Richard Ibbotson <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All

This week has been somewhat different from the others that we have 
all known.  Just now there are one or two American senators in the 
upper house discussing the complete removal of strong encryption 
from this planet.  That means globally and not just the UK.

I did send some info about this to the list last year.  Just to 
repeat it......

Whichever way you might feel about things the loss of data encryption 
is also the loss of personal freedom.

Just thought I'd mention it :)

Thanks
