Look, I get how it&#x27;s an amusing and poignant metaphor for what a bad idea key escrow is, but we all know that (unlike strong encryption) dinky luggage locks never provided any meaningful security in the first place. I pulled one apart with my hands once when I lost the key. You definitely don&#x27;t need bolt cutters.<p>The outrage at this &quot;spectacular failure&quot; feels a little insincere. You want to convince me the government can&#x27;t keep sensitive data secure, the OPM hack is closer to the mark.
