	John J. Miller on Florida & Senate & Election 2004 on National Review Online
		McCollum certainly does have that going for him — he is a bonafide expert on terrorism, having taken up the issue long before it seemed to matter.
		Indeed, McCollum plays a bit part in the opening pages of Richard Miniter's best-selling book Losing Bin Laden; Miniter casts him as a congressional Cassandra who warned of terrorism but was ignored by the Clinton administration (and just about everybody else, for that matter) in the 1990s.
		McCollum isn't reluctant to handicap the primary election, for which there is no runoff — it's all or nothing on the last day of August.

	Document: Rep. McCollum's opening statement, proposed amendment, and explanation, 3/24/99.
		But an issue that I believe has is being overlooked in the debate on this bill is the impact on law enforcement and national security in removing all of the export controls on encryption products, which this bill essentially does.
		In my view, because of this bill, sophisticated drug traffickers both domestic and those with ties to other countries, members of organized crime syndicates, international drug smugglers and terrorists throughout the world may begin to use encryption that is more robust than they presently use today.
		Because this bill will promote greater use of stronger encryption, law enforcement may not be able to gather evidence that it can use to investigate and prosecute cases.
