The point is not whether individuals take bribes. Of course some do. The subject under discussion is your implication that the request for decrypted BlackBerry data (which is being driven by the Intelligence agencies and the Home ministry) is done so with an intention to facilitate such bribery by intercepting multinational communications. US senators are bribed too. That doesn't mean that the CIA , the DHS or the NSA makes it their business to facilitate such corruption or that any anti terrorism policy adopted by the US government is automatically targeted towards benefiting such bribe takers. The latter accusation would need more proof then "Well in my ignorant paranoia I think this would happen" . Do you also believe that the US Govt brought down the Twin Towers? After all not everyone in the US Govt is a superhuman patriot who would never work against his own country? After all many foreigners think (with good reason) that the US is a very warmongering country. Is that a good enough rationale?

Really? I must have misspelled something ;)

  Regardless of the intent, it opens the door for abuse. It's like leaving a loaded gun in your baby's crib. Regardless of your good intentions, the potential for something to go bad is too great for it to be worthwhile.
