Nah; they're just asking you to run software under the same
terms  that  most of Microsoft's satisfied customers accept
without question.  If all those millions of  Windoze  users
are  willing to trust binary-only software from anyone, why
should we all be so worried about it?  Especially when  the
software  in  question  comes  from  the gummint elected by
those same millions?

Are people perhaps suggesting that the are  people  in  the
FBI  who  might  not  be  totally  open and honest in their
dealings with us?  Remember that they're likely reading and
archiving these messages ...
