This is inevitable whether this bill passes or not. There's simply too many political points to score here and little downsides as far as the government is actually concerned.

Unless it says that credit card companies are not liable for fraud due to intercepted encryption, I would think they would be some of the strongest opponents of this.

I haven't read the bill, but these kinds of things generally get amended at some point with all kinds of exceptions of which I am sure defense contractors, finance, and maybe health care will be exempt.
