The strangest thing about these law enforcement wish lists (that Obama is so in favour of) is that they don't actually work; terrorists will still be able to find or build software that doesn't have back doors and the rest of us will have our privacy and security compromised permanently.

I'll also note that you never seem to see the laws (RIPA in the UK for example) that do exist used against paedophiles and terrorists; more often they are used against peace campaigners, whistle blowers and reporters.

Has it always been that the government doesn't trust the people? It certainly looks increasingly that we should not trust our government.
