Porter Goss introduced last week the "Tax Relief for Responsible Encryption Act", or HR 2616, which proposes that companies producing encryption software receive a 15 percent tax break should they make the software government-snoopable, or accessible with a secret key. The argument made by Goss and his supporters is that many criminals, such as pedophiles, drug smugglers, and money launderers, conduct their illegal business undetected over the Internet every day.
