Since we all dont have the luxury of living in FANTASY land like the government my concern is...OK... you get your backdoor...Now, how much abuse will there be of this backdoor? I think not only will there be abuse but it will be flagrant and blatent. If a person wanted to commit a murder or any crime of similar nature do you think they are going to be using encrypted data transfer or email anyways? Do you Actually think that your going to prevent someone bent on commiting any crime just because you can get their data? Also, you only make it easier for them to commit their crimes because if you have a backdoor how long do you think in this day in age it's going to take for some one to find and exploit such a breach anyways? The only people who end up losing will be those who have legimate cases for use of encryption. IMHO by enabling this backdoor you now have the potential of increased cases of electronic hijacking of Data and blackmail. Am I being paranoid here?
