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

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

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

Further, the next generation of terrorists will grow up in a digital world, with ever more powerful and easy-to-use hacking tools at their disposal.

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.

I think most organizations have an interest in key recovery, at least with respect to stored data.

I favor strategies that encourage industry to include some sort of key recovery capability in their systems which would also address user requirements for access.
