What law is that, and why? Sounds interesting :)

Uncrackable encryption will allow drug lords, spies, terrorists and even
violent gangs to communicate about their crimes and their conspiracies
with impunity. We will lose one of the few remaining vulnerabilities of
the worst criminals and terrorists upon which law enforcement depends to
successfully investigate and often prevent the worst crimes.
For this reason, the law enforcement community is unanimous in calling
for a balanced solution to this problem.
Seriously? ROFL
So soon you can't ssh to the states anymore? :)
