Thug dismissed

A commander in the London thug department, who drew up the policy for repression of drugs, faces dismissal for taking marijuana and two psychedelic drugs while on vacation outside the UK.

When a person's conduct conflicts with a rule, at least one has to be wrong. When the person has publicly defended the rule, at least one aspect of per conduct must be wrong. But which one?

Sad to say, Congress is rushing to do the exact opposite, with the "EARN It" act that would prohibit services from offering end-to-end encryption.
