No, unfotrunately I think our &#x27;security&#x27; establishment really are so divorced from reality that they think crippling encryption is a good idea. It would be nice to think that they&#x27;re actualy technically competent and it&#x27;s all a ploy, but the truth is depressingly mundane. They handed the Chinese government and other authoritarian states cover for demanding back doors in encrypted products on a platter, and sold out our privacy, without any clue how utterly stupid and self defeating an idea it is.
