I agree with this. The NSA already has exceptions that allow them to keep encrypted data forever as they attempt to crack it. They have the law on their side and when they don't, they change it or fudge with loose interpretations.
And even if encryption were to continue, next thing you know, we will hear about other technologies. Some crazy BIOS back doors, exploits, or chip-level garbage.
To my mind, this is a legal issue more than a techical one. We shouldn't have to play cat-and-mouse with our government to protect our privacy. They need to be reined in legally, and all of this nonsense made punishable by law.
