Re: Talking to the Hand
They know exactly what they are doing. They understand completely that a universal encryption backdoor is not acceptable. But they will keep on pushing this in public until, at some point, they will give us the options of 1) Be a good citizen, don't use encryption; 2) Use an FBI approved encryption method (with a backdoor); 3) Use any other encryption method (you're automatically a person of interest). If they make the penalties for option 3 scary enough, then the sheeple will choose 1 or 2. Their concession to device vendors who don't want to be forced into only 1 or 2, will be that when you first initialise your new shiny you will get the three options:
1) Don't encrypt this device (not recommended)
2) Use FBI approved secure encryption (default)
3) Use non-approved encryption (this can lead to seizure of your device by security officials and severe criminal penalties if the encryption key is withheld)
