Because someone will get caught and issued a subpoena for their
private key.


And you wouldn't have conveniently lost your keys?

That would make you a criminal wouldn't it?! You must use your computer with fear of prosecution. Talk about terrorism.

Real criminals would disregard the laws and take advantage of
communication that is non-encrypted by law while continuing to use
encryption them selves. Convenient.



Of course. Contact your federal and state representatives.


That reminds me of the decision to not respond to "unconfirmed" burglar alarms, unless they belong to a government official. Makes sense. How else could you get government officials to take protection away from their neighbors? I'm serious. I heard this on the news the other day.
