There's still a snotload of debate going on over the whole surveillance tool
thingy.  Had a look at EFF.org lately?  

OTOH, it's good to know that said individual isn't the keeper of the keys.
(One presumes Jesse and his fellow keyholders at least eyeball the code
before placing their electronic stamp on it....)  

Thanks for chiming in, Jesse.  The additional transparency (who does and
doesn't have keys) helps.
