There are one or two U.S Senators who are trying to promote this.  
Most of the comment that I've seen out there on the net from 
experienced IT people goes along the lines of "Why don't they shove 
their oar ?".  So, from what I've seen and from my own personal 
experience it's not a good idea to support the thinking in the upper 
house.  Our own Ministers are not exactly well educated when it comes 
to crypto stuff either.

I know that the computing business survives on privacy and 
encryption.  Without it there may well be no jobs for anyone.

Thanks
