The real problem with the clipper chips was the start of international communication - which meant the USA had to agree with Europe, Japan, China etc to share the keys.

Same thing here, if the US has a backdoor into https/ssh, then the Eu will also want one, and Russia, and China, and India and the middle east. How long is your online shopping going to be secure when Nigeria or Somalia has the official government backdoor into your bank login.

SO we can thank Amazon/Visa/Apple for quashing this one.
