News item passed on by moderator:

According to the London Times (21 Nov. 95), a British detective told
an Interpol conference that child pornographers are using PGP to send
material without being detected.  There was also talk about the
anonymous remailing service in Finland.  (This information comes from
the Mecklermedia Net Across the World news clippings at
http://www.iworld.com/netday/NATW.html.)  

Sounds like a declaration of war is imminent.  There are many sites
where you can read about PGP (start with http://epic.org/crypto/CKE/
or http://www.netresponse.com/zldf).  For an interesting exchange of
views on anonymous remailers, read:
