3)I've never had this issue but I don't play by the rules.
4)This is two issues a)it will not be less secure it would be the same as having a second key for your front door, or creating a second private key. Just because you have two keys does not mean it's less secure the proof is in the proof (it's math problem). b)government spying/big brother/what have you... I don't know anyone who would like this.

- roganartu 11y ago> it would be the same as having a second key This is a bad analogy (unless you mean to say that this second key would be identical for every door, in which case.. sort of). A better analogy would be that everyone was forced to install a second entry method to their house that only the government knew how to operate. The inherent problem with this is that as soon as someone else figures out how to operate it, everything with this entry method installed would be accessible to them until it changes or is fixed.
