NSA probably hasn't broken strong crypto

So what. Double the bits, then you’re back out ahead. This is an arms race that can’t be won by smarts, but can EASILY be won by brute force of a different kind. Compel big e-bizzes and cert authorities to share their keys, and you’re in.

Why hot wire the car when you can just bust a small window in the kitchen with your fist and grab the keys off the keyrack? (And force a gag order on the homeowner, while you’re at it.)
