   If the bad guys have an unbreakable wall, the *victims* have an 
   unbreakable wall too.  The criminals gain nothing.  They are, in fact, 
   worse off since it becomes *harder* to 'break the close.'

Yup.  And the NSA seeks to deny it to us.  I see it as the best reason
to encourage open, real crypto.
