Here's the problem. We can talk tech all we want, but you have to reduce modern politics down to a catch-phrase that makes your opponent look stupid. You make anyone who tries to ban encryption embarrassed and make others call them stupid. Hell, pull out the card deck and say they're trying to ban a card trick. Logic is so long dead in politics that you got to go for the emotional gut. Bonus, if you can phrase stuff in such a way to make them unpatriotic too.

I'll go be sick in the corner now from writing the truth of it.
