Told a spook to enjoy the spoils of his job, got accused of tax dodging.

My point is that the people who service the interest on the debt allow government departments to concoct items that the citizens are not privy to. That the privacy we pay to create is off limits to us.
Umm, I think what you are saying is that this really good encryption, or whatever the product, is denied to the little guy. But the reality is that they have to deny it to the little guy and control who can have it so that our enemies can't have it.
Because the reality of the situation is that the 'little guy' is just as much the enemy as the supposed 'bad guys'. Hence why they spy on us. A potential revolution is just as damaging. Of course the military washes those concepts out in boot camp so you wouldn't know bout that there concept. You're NOT like our founding fathers, one bit
Firday next week is the next round of "Will you still have a job or not?" It's contract time and mine is up for bid again.
If my company wins and if my task isn't cut then I still have a job. If another company winds and the customer is happy with my work, maybe I have a new job. Otherwise I join the ranks of the unemployed again and start looking for something that pays the bills, here or wherever.
More next week.
What do you know about the military or boot camp? Nothing at all or you wouldn't say this.
I'm too tired to fight with someone who can be told what is true and shown what is false and still can't believe it.
So how can I crack my 100GB volume that I lost the password to?
UGH. There are all flavors of "criminals" and that includes those that are doing things that really should be legal in a modern society. The people that were using TOR to buy shrooms, NBOMe, etc are somehow merged with child rapists in your mind?There are mostly 2 kinds of people who use crypting:
1) The people who really do not need it but are paranoid
2) Criminals
Only some folks in communist dictatorships etc. really need encryption. Any law abiding citizen does not. I reckon Tor, crypt etc. are very popular with kiddie molesters etc. nice people.
No, becoming a VA Beneficiary.
Creepy, is that you?

Oh... Peace...Time to go home, I'm tired and it's time to get my game on and forget all this shit for awhile. Monday there will be new crap in the news to troll over, piece to all and your families.

Or say, Dr's office's -- where we are REQUIRED BY LAW to use it due to HIPAA.
Or say, law office's -- where data is covered by client attorney privilege.
Or say, a political campaign -- where information being leaked could hurt the campaign, potentially where legal issues might arise when the current authorities represent the opposition (after all our government would NEVER illegally target the opposition or do something like have IRS investigate Tea Party supporters...).
Need I say more?
what do you have to hide, hmmmmmmmmOr if someone steals your computer and want's to look at your hard drive.

I thought so, too. The number of alt accounts on here is getting stupid. They do nothing but shit up a thread and switch names around when an old account doesn't get enough bites. Really wish they would go away.
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to hide. Simple as that.
he's talking about you because you're a troll
it's not opposing arguments he's opposed to, it's your asinine comments shitting up this thread that's at issue
someone points out that HIPAA regulations require encryption and that law offices use it to protect client/attorney privileged information and you respond with some nonsense about doctors not needing to worry about government obtaining their patient data and officers not needing to worry if they aren't doing anything wrong :roll eyes:
so you're either a troll or you can't read plainly written english
It's not about whether you see a need for it. The two instance we cited for you are agencies that are required by the law to encrypt their data. That's all I'm going to say in this thread because for some reason I received a profile warning for that post.You seem overly worked out on the subject. How is it so difficult for you to realize that I may not see any need for a 'government proof' encryption?
Personal financial information that could be used for identity theft purposes?what do you have to hide, hmmmmmmmm
You seem overly worked out on the subject. How is it so difficult for you to realize that I may not see any need for a 'government proof' encryption? Anyone who wolks in and for the society has nothing to fear from the government. Anyone who works against the society has every reason in the planet to be paranoid and encrypt their data.
I do not wish to assist this kind of individuals, quite the contrary.
And the day I fear my government so much that I have to start to encrypt data of my daily life, I take the first airplane out of the country.
I have no idea who or what you're talking about but if you can't stomach opposing arguments it's really you who should go away.
Personal financial information that could be used for identity theft purposes?
Both my laptop and my phone are Bitlocker encrypted for this purpose. I don't want my finances compromised, my credit score ruined, AND have to change the password one every site I've ever registered at on the internet, just because some jerk steals my laptop or cell phone.

If someone like B00nie truly believes this to be true...
Then post your financial information for us to see. What have you got to hide if you're not doing anything wrong?
Oh, but now it's only the government you don't need to hide things from?
How do you know some of us on here don't have security clearances? Surely you have nothing to hide from us...
Simply put...
People who claim only paranoids and criminals use encryption need a swift kick in the head.
Citations needed.As long as you're working as a part of the system and abiding laws, the government is your friend not your enemy. It becomes an enemy only when your ideals or morale deviates from the laws and ideals of the government. When that happens you should move away from that country instead of trying to fight the government. Because that's a fight you can't win.
to paraphrase B00nie, 'as long as your thoughts dont deviate from the norm, we won't kill you.'
why do you keep conflating encryption with hiding data from the government?
you do realize that there are other people in the world besides you and the government, don't you?
in the research I do I have to get special authorization from the government to waive prosecution of people doing illegal activities so that I can collect data about the kinds of crimes people and organizations do that would otherwise go unstudied.Why do you keep missing that the writers in the article and thread were worried about not having an independent, non government tappable encryption available anymore?
Did you miss all the talk about bitlocker not being up to the task because NSA may have bought or ordered a backdoor into it?
You do realize that I have repeated the same thing several times now and you still don't get that I'm not talking about not using bitlocker or other available 'common' methods. I'm talking about people who specifically feel they need to hide from the government through encryption.
Sure doctors and many other professions require crypting to keep their sensitive data safe. But none of them need to worry about bitlocker being tappable - unless they're committing crimes.
