I remember a couple weeks ago someone was lobbying Congress to pass
laws to enable the National Security Agency to monitor networks
to find technology leaks to the Eastern block.
o Is Digital doing anything to foil technology leaks? A simple
yes or no will do for this question, and
o If the N.S.A. is monitoring the networks it will have access
to all the technology it doesn't presently have. In short it will
get that technology for _free_ without paying one red cent for it.
After all, how are we going to know whether the N.S.A. is using our
technology or not? Are you going to ask them??

Well if the N.S.A. and other "security agencies" are going to scan all
out going data from networks in the U.S.A. for illegial technology
transactions and terrorist action then maybe we should load up their
scan ques and be sure they earn our tax dollars. In otherwords they
should find another way to check on illegial tranactions besides
violating the privacy of private nets.

RE: *.* by NEXUS::MORGAN in *::*.NOTE
I've seen this in at least a half dozen of your notes today.
I'd say the 600+ character byline is more likely to clog up
our disks than NSA computing capacity.
And it of questionable appropriateness for Digital networks
and notefiles.
We got the point. I think you can turn if off now.
Thanks, g

Several months ago, there was something in the papers about increased
pressure on international corporate networks to make themselves
more secure... the person behind the pressure was a guy named
Poindexter.(SP?), the same guy making shadey deals with Iran.
Now that he is out, the pressure might be lower...
Where there might be some merit to thinking the ruskies might get
some info about DEC by listening to our bits from the sky, reality
is that they already have most of our SDC software for the many
vaxs that are running in the USSR. We might even slow them down
by giving them some of our field test stuff...
