I will never use a fone with a clipper chip in it. Hell, I don't use
anything with DES either (if I have a choice). Given past history, it
is extremely unlikely that the government will be responsible with the
keys to the phones. What happens when another Joe McCarthy comes along?
(Well, first I leave the country, but that's irrelevant.)
As it stands now, I trust no encryption. I don't even trust the algorithms
I write. If it's really that important or "dangerous," I don't write it
down. It stays in my brain, which to my knowledge, is the only place where
it can not be eavesdropped on. If I *have* to tell someone (rare), it's
face to face, *not* over the phone.
