Forced key escrow was actually floated before, when I was a kid in the late 80's/early 90's.

Even as a child it seemed like a terrible, dangerous idea.

But think of the children! Do you want to help the terrorists? What's so bad that you want to hide it?

America is looking more and more like a Soviet style dictatorship every day. The United States' propaganda machine is so well tuned that they don't need to physically oppress us with secret police on every block. We oppress ourselves.
