Subject: File 5--About the Clipper Proposal
Gentlemen.
No matter about the clipper proposal. What the Federal government has
not done in either the digital telephony statutes or the clipper chip
proposal is prove that a problem exists nor that this is the least
intrusive measure to resolve the problem.
Digital encryption promises great power to the individual user, but
the government has enormous power. The CIA and the NSA spend about 70
billion dollars a year, most of which is on technical signals capture
and decryption.
No-one has demonstrated that the CIA lacks the technology to still
conduct wiretaps at points ahead of the encrypters, nor has anyone
demonstrated that the NSA lacks the resources to de-crypt
conversations.
If in fact the NSA lacks the resources to de-crypt civilian
conversations, then what have we been spending all this money for?
Constitutional theory dictates that any government intrusion on a
civil right, must take the form of the least intrusion. This
proposal has not been demonstrated to be the least intrusive, nor has
there been ademonstration that there is even a need.
