    If encryption gets banned, there is an ally that the bought-and-paid-for Congresscritters *will* listen to.

    Go to the NRA. Seriously. Strong crypto was classified as a munition, making crypto a Second Amendment issue. Congress doesn't give a shit about the ACLU or the EFF or any of those types, but they will listen to the NRA.

    Somehow the thought of Sarah Palin encrypting a moose just doesn't work for me.
