There is a petition by the CPSR (Computer Professionals for Social Respon-
sibility) that states it's opposition to the proposed Clipper chip, the chip
that would allow the goverment to have access to a "back door" in the infor-
mation superhighway, and allow them to spy on any conversation or information
transmitted through the computer lines.  This isn't protection, this is the
government's surveillance of it's people, no better than tapping the telephone
lines and monitoring your conversation.
