I'll be interested to hear if someone out there can verify that PGP didn't put in back doors for the Federal Government to snoop around thru like they've done with their previous versions. If anyone here hear's of any news on that, let us know here.

Well, they're releasing the source. If you care THAT much, you're free to sift through the code and find any offensive lines.
