While giving off a shortminded and vague speech to reporters this past week, Attorney General John Ascroft said "The broadcast will use the latest encryption technology integrated with state-of-the-art video-conferencing over high-speed digital telephone lines," Ashcroft said. "Federal regulations prohibit any recording of the execution. Therefore, any closed-circuit transmission will be instantaneous and contemporaneous."

The problem is this the families of the victims of this bombing want to see this mass murdered executed, but the seperation from the execution and Oklahoma is a few hundred miles. McVeigh is being executed in Indiana, while families of the victims reside in Oklahoma.

The only possible way for the families to view is execution is through some type of transmission through satelitte, or some telephone line, etc.

This is the problem that is hitting up problems, an ISDN worker said "You have to get physical access to either the network or the line. If you can get physical access to it, you can literally splice in," Rasch said, even though they seem pretty prepared about this, they still don't want this execution leaking out to the public.

You can relate this story to the Bill Clinton ordeal, that we all know about.
President Clinton's grand jury testimony in the Monica Lewinsky case was carried from the White House to a federal courthouse about a mile away through a single cable which the public had no access to. Luckily nobody had entered it. This whole process of the public being blocked through this line is the encryption, once a hacker hacks into the main line, they have to encrypt the signal to go into the line, which is processing the execution.

So really if you think of it on the flipside the only real way to get this out to the public, is if one of the family members from the victims bring a camera and record it, and nowadays you know how small some cameras can be.

"The broadcast will use the latest encryption technology integrated with state-of-the-art video-conferencing over high-speed digital telephone ines"

it almost sounds like there tempting the hackers to try ;P

if someone really wanted to see it they would..

just like microsoft's hack proof audio.. look how long that lasted

Can someone show me an example of Microsoft's audio security being hacked? I'm not talking about simply recording the output audio to a new file... I want to see the security actually hacked.

"President Clinton's grand jury testimony in the Monica Lewinsky case was carried from the White House to a federal courthouse about a mile away through a single cable which the public had no access to."

good thing

I haven´t heard about a real hack either. Tried to find something on the net, but everything was about unfucked.exe. However, I know there has been a crack for the watermarking technology, I´ll try to find it.

But why would someone outside of the victoms family want to see some guy gettin killed with a needle or gas, It's not like he's being Vulcan mini-gunned...
