I am so mad at what the "security" apparatus is trying to do right now -- they are trying to cover up the fact that they employ arrogant idiots that rely too much on technology and don't cooperate with other european counterparts.

Their alternative to real police/intelligence work is indiscriminate surveillance 1984 style.

If there was no strong, public key encryption, the bad guys would still find ways to coordinate without it, it's been done since times immemorial.
