I wish laypeople hearing this stuff realized how easy it would be for the "bad guys" to use one time pads.

It would be trivial to have terror cells be distributed a USB with several GB of a OTP, and that would be unbreakable even into the age of quantum computing if used properly.

Thus isn't at all about terrorism or the "really bad guys." It's 100% about accessing the average Joe Blow's communications.

Bad guys already do use such schemes and more.

If the government can’t crack strong encryption as-is, the problem is that strong encryption is deployed at scale.
