British Police Demand Access To Encryption Keys 814
flip-flop writes "In the wake of recent terrorist attacks, police here in the UK have asked for sweeping new powers they claim will help them counter the threat. Among these is making it a criminal offense for people to refuse disclosing their encryption keys when the police want to access someone's files." From the article: "The most controversial of the police proposals is the demand to be able to hold without charge a terrorist suspect for three months instead of 14 days. An Acpo spokesman said the complexity and scale of counter-terrorist operations means the 14-day maximum is often insufficient."

There is at least one additional rule that goes along with innocent until proven guilty. It's guilty until proven American.

Britons United against Greator Govermental Executive Reform Ostensibly From Fear
B.U.G.G.E.R.O.F.F. stands with the government! We cannot allow the morons from The Society Of dissenting Organisms For Freedom to undermine the war on terra! Please write your representative and tell him your views. S.O.D.O.F.F is an extremely dangerous organization which threatens our Purity of essence. Being an american I can only lend moral support. On that note I wish to let all Britons know that the American Society for a Secure Homeland Over Liberty and Equality is here to help!
Together A.S.S.H.O.L.E. and B.U.G.G.E.R.O.F.F are a perfect match.
