I think the way they do it in Dubai is to make encryption the de facto evidence of wrongdoing. They are not letting you in with a crackberry - apparently the encryption is too effective.<BR>

I must admit to being surprised this came from the Obama admin and not
from the Bush one.
I already assume all unencrypted Internet activity can be monitored,
but I also assume encryption can be used to protect communications.
One article I read said the gov't request is to also have a way to
access encrypted communications.
Does anyone know what that's about? If I encrypt something before it
leaves my computer, how are they planning to wiretap that?
