This is a great question, but it's not HN's job to answer, it is the DOJ's. We really need to get the point across that no government would be able to enforce a law that requires a certain software design (in this case, back doors) in all commercial and free software. It's the equivalent of requiring people to say or write only certain things. Even China and North Korea do not do that successfully, and they try really really hard. Our representatives and law enforcement are woefully uninformed about this issue, and it hurts the public because fingers are being pointed in the wrong direction. While we are infighting, terrorists are making strides.
