The good thing is that Jörg Ziercke is not the only person to decide. To quote Bruce Schneier: " The FBI believes it can have it both ways: that it can open systems to its eavesdropping, but keep them secure from anyone else’s eavesdropping. That’s just not possible. It’s impossible to build a communications system that allows the FBI surreptitious access but doesn’t allow similar access by others. When it comes to security, we have two options: - We can build our systems to be as secure as possible from eavesdropping, or - we can deliberately weaken their security. We have to choose one or the other. "
