remember the movie "wag the dog"

the TLO's are making a big amount of noise in the PUBLIC about encryption
but they will still have access from IoT bits of hardware

and bad decisions like the above

they really do NOT need to "break encryption" that is just a "red herring "

Never saw 'wag the dog' but I heard it was about war.

I think breaking encryption would not only be a very big mistake but it would open a BIG CAN of WORMS.
