How do you plan to prove that a person can unencrypt certain communication and is not simply an intermediary?
What if a hacker plants "secret encrypted documents" on your computer, and then the government demands that you produce a key for them? This situation has allegedly already played out with child porn[0], and planting drugs is not unheard of by unscrupulous police officers[1]. Essentially, you're back at the issue GP describes - we don't trust government employees with this much power over our lives.
