Obama Administration and Email Privacy

Check out this article posted today on BoingBoing about Obama's policy on encrypted e-mails. The administration wants to keep back doors open for the government to get to encrypted messages to ensure that they have access to sensitive or potentially threatening information. Personally, I view this as an attack on privacy altogether. Individuals, employees, and especially companies have good reason to secure their communications (i.e. intellectual property) and any back doors can be exploited.
