I'd support an encryption backdoors if they implement it similar to the backdoors in the existing telephony system. They must get a warrant to tap your telephone line and by law, the telecom company must comply. That's why all telephony switch have these "features" that can "copy/record" telephony packets for law enforcement purposes. If people don't have a problem with the existing system, I don't see why they would have a problem with data encryption backdoors.

"Lawful intercept" backdoors like the one you described have been abused in countless cases (google it, you'll see - the example that comes to mind is the Greek olympics scandal). People are fighting this because the existing system is rife with potential for abuse, and anything else that opens up more potential for abuse/intimidation/corruption is a bad idea.
