I, of course, know of the "dislike" of GAK here. I am curious to know, however, if the "dislike" is because government would have access under any circumstances or if the primary worry is that government will cheat and get access when most would agree that they shouldn't (either by the judge "cheating" or a TLA stealing it).
Since you're sure to get a number of long responses to this question, I'll keep mine short. I don't want to give anyone my keys. I do not harm anyone by refusing to do so. Therefore, anyone using force to take my keys is acting immorally.*
In other words ... if it took agreement by a review board composed of non-LEA members of this list, would the escrow be acceptable??
No. I don't choose to give Louis Freeh my keys. I don't choose to give Brian Davis my keys. I don't choose to give Tim May my keys. Any use of force to compel me to yield my keys is unacceptable.
