MIT to Oz: Crypto-busting laws risk banning security tests

Politicians.

It appears even politicians down under are moronic.

Legislating against free speech (which this law will obviously do), doesn't mean someone won't tell someone, who tells another... and so on. Things slip out, mistakes are made... and others make the conscience effort to be jerks.

Unfortunately, as long as we keep electing officials without technical and computer expertise backgrounds... politicians are going to keep creating laws--which initially sound good--but have unintended consequences in the end, because of things they cannot see nor comprehend.
