But not at thwarting criminals and governments from using strong
encryption. They have been using encryption all along. The people who
have legitimate need for encryption are not using it, thus we have more
weaknesses than needed in our critical information infrastructures
(world wide) and the criminals are exploiting it to great advantage.

If we criminalize strong encryption, only criminals will have it.
