Am I wrong to believe the government is, in fact, capable of cracking encryption on individual bases, but not on _many_ cases? Isn't this what we want? For the limits of encryption to keep mass snooping at bay? In other words, I think the "ticking time bomb" scenario often used to justify a backdoor is a fallacy. If the government really wanted or needed to, they could easily decrypt or break into a device (rubber hose method comes to mind). Don't let fear rule your life, and convince others not to as well. That is our job.
