re: #349 abolitionist

(Yes, I’m trying the “scared straight” approach.)

I’m trying to stay on-topic here. Really.

Been there. The warrant specified marijuana, but among the items confiscated was one of the earliest hardcopies of a document, which I’d requested and received from MIT:
A Method for Obtaining Digital
Signatures and Public-Key Cryptosystems
R.L. Rivest, A. Shamir, and L. Adleman

It was a lightly bound copy with front and back covers. Would probably have been worth a small fortune now, had it not been stolen in the police raid.

Subsequently, an undercover agent practically camped out in my living room for several months, pretending to be a boyfriend/lover of a 14-year old neighbor whose older sister I’d befriended.

Many attempts at intimidation/entrapment included that agent banging that 14-year-old in my locked bathroom, an ABC store transaction, a gun in my car, a break-in to my car, and hits of LSD planted in a document from my employer and then hidden in my sofa.

I’m now inclined to believe all that crap was really about mathematics and encryption.

Will there be a book version of this?
