The point is that no matter what crypto algorithms are developed and implem=
ented, it's generally trivial for authorized (for whatever value of 'author=
ized' applies in a given situation) entities to obviate them by simply comp=

If folks are unhappy with the current state of affairs, they ought to conce=
ntrate on writing laws, not code.
