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).
...or "somebody else" (ie commercial competitor, personal or political rival, etc) paying off somebody to obtain it. I don't trust the gvm't to only get access when they should, either.
In other words ... if it took agreement by a review board composed of non-LEA members of this list, would the escrow be acceptable??
Not necessarily; the members of the review board can be bribed, blackmailed, lied to, etc. I don't believe there's a competent review board available...nor do I think such a thing could be created.
