It's going to be very interesting to hear their excuses for this kind of nonsense. By now we now it'll hurt the french population most. It'll hurt their economy second (I'm a big fan of Gandi, but that might change very soon), and it won't protect anybody either.

I have hoped learning from the mistakes the US gov made after 9/11 would be the one good thing coming out of 9/11.

I'm a customer too, will be at least moving the server to a different data-centre soon. In terms of mail, I'm not sure what to do, I _DO_ know that you not only need to trust the transportation of your mail, but also the receiving end. I have know times, when using secure communication, only to have the receiver store the messages in the USA.

One would hope they would have learned. But France has always been a police state. The only difference is, now they are now openly admitting to it.
