It wouldn't even matter to them whether their encryption actions are illegal or not. So rather then making the world a safer place, a flawed Vista encryption system would leave businesses and private people's data available for anyone who manages to get a hold on the "master key" If a terrorist wishes to hide thier data, they would use a proven encryption technique instead of trusting Microsoft to provide them with something that works.

Governments take our privacy away and say that it's for our own safety. Not that I don't like being safe, but I rather have my privacy, because, no matter what, there is still going to be someone (a terrorist for example) who is going to cause harm. -Chris Whatever happened to the right to privacy?

The Islamic Extremists inside of our borders are already extrememly smart, and they set up in the best Universities around the nation and recruit the smartest new minds too. Couple that with better methods of encryption, and our Security Services find it much harder to do their jobs. This is, unfortunately, neccesary.
