You don't trust Uncle Sam?
Authored by: johnblommers on Mar 19, '02 11:39:11PM
Some folks plain don't trust the government for some reason. Could there be some back door in the code? Unless the source code for this program is available, there is no way to be sure, is there? That's why open source is so damn important to security-minded folk. They can compile from the source! That's why I find it astonishing that the US Government would use applications from a criminal corporation.

Still, this is another tool in the toolbox, so thanks to Uncle Sam.
