I think the big bait-and-switch is her description of the various
companies falling over themselves to get to _VOLUNTARY_ key escrow to
avoid losing data and protecting themselves against employee problems
versus _MANDATORY_GOVERNMENT_ key escrow to ensure that individuals
cannot hide information from the government.
Key escrow is good. Key escrow against your will is bad.
