Let's suppose for a minute that there is some legislation put forth forcing encryption to have back doors inserted, or some other sort of key escrow. Why would anyone with the know-how and a privacy concern not just write an implementation of a known crypto algorithm?
Essentially, how would this legislation do anything but compromise the security of law-abiding people while not at all reducing the capabilities of those the US government wishes to stop?
