Sysadmins understand encryption well enough to know there are plenty of different tools to use to encrypt data. Allowing a backdoor to one tool does not grant access to every criminal communication. Therefore, the request is pointless, it does nothing to make us more secure, and every IT guy knows it. The sysadmin may not care about protecting others' privacy, but he knows this isn't a good way to catch criminals because it won't work. The criminals will just use something else that the US government, or perhaps any government, cannot compel to add a backdoor.
