And when the criminals figure out the key?
No, no, no. If there is a backdoor for "police", then the criminals will kill themselves trying to figure out how to get in it. And *when* they do, not if, NO ONE WILL KNOW for days/weeks/years while the bad guys steal logins, passwords, identities, credit card numbers, bank/retirement accounts, tax returns, etc etc etc.
How does this guy have this position and not understand this? Or is it just a matter of making his personal fiefdom bigger?
I'm all for finding/prosecuting terrorists and other criminals, but defeating security for everyone in pursuit of that goal is absolutely NOT the answer.
