The best part is that the US of A is cool with allowing organizations to encrypt things that should be freely available to the public (OTA broadcast TV & public services radio networks). In the case of OTA broadcast the American taxpayer is being abused by having to deal with corporate America using open airwaves for profit while those same corporations hoover up all kinds of hand outs in subsidies. Yet when encryption is in the best interest of the American citizen, and there's no lobbyist in some politicians pocket - well, then... Then it's not acceptable because: enter national security / child porn / drugs as an inarguable rationale.
