This is pretty cool

Today I happened to read this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-29567782
in which the head of Europol's Cybercrime Centre says, "There is confusion among the good guys on the internet between anonymity and privacy. I don't think they are the same. I think that you have right to privacy but that doesn't mean that you have the right to anonymity."

The increasing trend towards greater encryption of online communications is not acceptable, he said.

"Imagine in the physical world if you were not able to open the trunk of a car if you had a suspicion that there were weapons or drugs inside... we would never accept this.

"I think that should also count for the digital world. I hate to talk about backdoors but there has to be a possibility for law enforcement, if they are authorised, to look inside at what you are hiding in your online world."

law enforcement can always simply break down your door and confiscate your computer and torture you to get you to divulge your passwords. What I am doing does not prevent this. law enforcement has to go through your physical door, no backdoors in any of my code!

In any case this is non-communications as who did you really contact by sending packets to addresses that nobody actually uses? If a packet falls into a dead drop, did anybody decrypt it?
