The PGP haul of "Carnivore" (if that's what the main US Federal domestic Internet traffic trawling program is still named, and if there's only one, both of which seem highly doubtful) is probably broken whenever the FBI/CIA/NSA deems the communication of sufficient interest. After all, PGP is deliberately weakened (something to do with number and depth of "cisterns", IIRC, and maybe more), and I imagine the strength that the US Feds would stand for was based on NSA cracking ability . . . . -- tinmimus99@hotmail.com smeeter 11 or maybe 12 mp 10 mhm 29x13 I recognize no authority but the Constitution of the United States (some parts of it) and the bouncer at Jack's and Charlie's. < Benchley
