There are probably cryptographers that can recite the RSA/AES algorithms from memory.
We have the Internet and general purpose computers.
The only way you're getting rid of encryption is destroying all of that. I don't know why people feel the need to resort to arguments about economic damage, civil rights, whatever.
This is the fucking _Internet_ we're talking about. This isn't some biscuit tin with a particular pattern that Uncle George really, really likes. It's the god damn Internet.
You want to destroy one of the most beautiful creations humanity has ever seen, in the name of what? Stopping a few marathons being bombed?
Is the entire government clinically insane?
Would they turn the sky green if it gave them more power?
Am I still living in reality?
What most people probably don't realize is even if the government was somehow able to successfully outlaw cryptography and eliminated it completely from the face of the earth, it would do absolutely nothing to prevent future marathon bombings. The two simply aren't related, and there is nothing on this phone that is going to magically help the FBI, NSA, or any other TLA find and stop terrorists from acting.
