What is funny is that some powers that be really want backdoors in current crypto, because of course terrorists are stupid and will use backdoored crypto just like the rest of us.

Seems like they still do consider strong crypto to be just like munitions, because they seem to think if you just make it illegal then the gargantuan black market supply will just dry up and ordinary citizens won't be disadvantaged.
