yet? She was singing this tune 20 years ago.

Sources please. I did a research on her legislation and voting record back then, expecting to find horrible things, and found her work to be thoughtful and helpful to the populous.

Things have dramatically changed since then, unfortunately. It'd be fascinating to uncover what caused this marked phase change.

And from RISKS 29.46:

Incidentally, my testimony in the second session that day is at http://www.csl.sri.com/neumann/judiciary.html, along with my answers to subsequent written questions from Senators Thurmond, Grassley, Leahy, and Feinstein. At the end of the first session. Senator Feinstein excused herself to go to another hearing, but remarked that if FBI Director Freeh said he needed access to essentially everything, we'd better give it to him.

Find Feinstein's comments. Doesn't look like anything changed.

I don't know about her voting record to know if that's true or not, but again, I'm talking about her reputation, which is partially shaped by fact but also shaped by public perception. And she's not really perceived as anti-tech.

Wow. Us geezers need to bring you whippersnappers up to speed about how this went 20 years ago, because it's your turn to fight this battle again.

Fetch my geritol before you gear up, sonny.

I'm aware of the encryption wars of the 90s, but that's my point. It's been forgotten about.
