It is my sincerest hope that this bill goes into the filing cabinet with Dihydrogen Monoxide [0] and legislating the value of pi [1]. I appreciate the challenges that encryption creates for law enforcement, but it has nothing to do with placing people "above" the law; rather it is a simple truth that you cannot create a system that is both designed to be secure and circumvented by authorities (and no one else). It is asinine that we must continue to have this debate.
