Debate?
I don't recall any debate among cryptographers, actually. I do remember almost total unity of all the experts saying that attempting to restrict it was futile and just plain dumb. Speaking out and being ignored isn't debate. Sure a few people in the "agencies" whose rice bowl needed constant filling spoke to a few people they had dirt on. Quietly.
Australia on the other hand has laws. Now all they have to do is pass a law against fission and fusion and they can't be nuked, right?
War on drugs eliminated them, right? As far as I can tell, it simply made the worst people on earth (money laundering banks and politician and cops taking bribes) rich and profited the cartels too.
I could go on, but it's pointless, and no one can decode it anyway. Sorry for the failed communication.
