I saw this one a while ago and almost p155ed myself.
The idea that if traffic cops wanted to convict someone illegally they would
choose to do it by cracking the md5 algorithm is just hilarious, but so
typical of the warped ideas people have about computer security.
I think we should send Schneier over there with a big baseball bat to sort
