Dear American Internet,
Encryption is here to stay. You can't get at the bad guy's information if he encrypts it. And if you get American companies to give you a back door, or "front door," then the bad guys will get their encryption somewhere else.
We already went through this in the 90's. I can still put an algorithm in a few lines of code on the front of a t-shirt that is virtually unbreakable to anyone, including the government. Let's not revisit the discussion, because the answer hasn't changed.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
