Here's the thing. Governmental credibility should not be a factor. Particularly in light of how things have and will continue to shift over time. Clinton tried to push the Clippet chip through and failed. We can't just say thing got better and now we should help weaken crypto because bad guys and now the government has more credibility. Obviously, things swung back in the opposite direction. So the only safe solution is to build strong crypto always.

The government having credibility now wouldn't guarantee that this would be a good idea forever going into the future. But the fact that the government already doesn't have any credibility on privacy and data protection is a factor. It means that this is already a bad idea as of right now.
