Justice Dept. Considering New Crime of Encryption
Instapundit tells us the Justice Department is considering making a new crime out of using encryption in or during the course of commission of a different and unrelated crime. It's a bad idea and he has all the reasons, after which he concludes, "And the more the Justice Department uses "anti-terrorism" as a slogan for grabbing more power against ordinary crimes, the more convinced a lot of people will become that the Justice Department isn't serious about terrorism at all."
