Antagonistic processes are the way of life, checks and balances are built on them. Offices are full of them.

The big issue that really annoys me, is that GCHQ staff are vetted by the NSA, so over time, they have been shaped. So a protocol with a hidden key escrow, is more likely to be hidden from Parliament than the NSA.

So its concerning that they'd push that as 'Government grade'.

I also think a lot of extra features on encryption are the problem to adoption. Encryption should be encryption, nothing else. Currently lots of the certs I'm getting are fake, a consequence of using a "C" word in a country under a "C" leader. I would have to accept the fake cert to allow send, because some idiot likes identification and encryption.
