No FBI. Hell, not that long ago I started the work to become an agent. I love law. I love bad guys being put away. But you have _ZERO_ need for an escrow on strong encryption. It is perfectly legitimate that citizens don't give up their secrets. This is why we have discovery, warrants, and the Tenth Amendment (however riddled with holes it now is). The government has no compelling interest here.
