I noticed that strange air bag analogy myself. Clearly, Freeh and his puppet masters are trying to skew the discussion towards "public safety". Of course, requiring GAK is more like requiring a remote kill switch in
the
ignition of all new cars so cops can just type a license plate number into their terminal to halt a fleeing car. [BTW, such kill switches will be required before long. I trust we all know this].
Already implemented actually. All modern automobiles have a rather respectable amount of computing power that is vulnerable to directed radio frequency weapons, whose effect to microelectronics is similar to an electromatic pulse. =This= is what is driving the push to get older vehicles off the road, not environmentalist's arguments about 'global warming'.
Frankly, I don't care if they outlaw crypto. We'll just glue stego on top of it. And Joe Sixpack couldn't care less. Nor do I care if Joe Sixpack wants to be spanked by his wife or plungered by his government. It's his choice.
