The laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

While it's true there was something going on there, only one encryption algorithm was affected and it was not the default. You are/were free to choose which one to use and were not forced to use the weakened algorithm unless you were working on a .gov contract.

Very interesting reading all of the NSA leaks.

The NSA has always been building 'super computers to crack codes worldwide.

Me thinks they are just trying to keep up with encryption technology.
