I just can't believe anyone would say they "trust the tech experts" immediately before dismissing what the experts are telling them.

  Given article context she said that there must be a way of cracking encryption without installing backdoors which tech experts advise agaist. Where she dissmised what they say? I think with quantum computing and possibilities that breaking encryption brings to the table goverments will have this in near future.

    The tech experts are telling her that you can't break encryption without ruining it for everyone. She is turning around and basically saying they aren't trying hard enough. It's possible that quantum computing will offer a temporary way around this, but unless governments ban the sale of quantum computing, it's only a matter of time until quantum computing allows criminals the same ability. Also consider that if the government can use quantum computing to break encryption, what's to stop other governments like China from doing the same thing?

    To me, "backdoor" and "government can crack it if they try" differ only in degree, not in kind.
