Everyone is a proponent of strong encryption.

While the vast majority of hackers may be disinclined towards violence, it would only take a few to turn cyber terrorism into reality.

Generally I'm against regulation.

Systems are complex, so controlling an attack and achieving a desired level of damage may be harder than using physical weapons.

I don't have a particular recommendation other than that we base decisions on as much hard data as possible. We need to carefully look at all the options and all their ramifications in making our decisions.

I prefer leaving things to the market as much as possible.

We have never really had absolute privacy with our records or our electronic communications - government agencies have always been able to gain access with appropriate court orders.
