True, and this should frighten everyone. You'd be a suspected terrorist or criminal for using a VPN or tor or any foreign service that doesnt use the gov approved crypt. As long as you stayed out of the limelight and kept your head down you'd be fine. But if anyone looked into your activity, it would be easy to determine that you weren't using gov-crypt. This is inheritely authoritarian.

I can think of a few ways to make this a real pain for law enforcement. Sure I use my crypto to encrypt a tunnel then you use yours to encrypt a tunnel etc.... Make an onion out of the cryptosystem and law enforcement has got to get piles of warrants to cut through the various layers.

It's stupid, sort of like a fourth ammensment onion router
