Agree!
With american 'encrypted' mobile phones, the GSM encryption, and the
so-called wap encryption in mind... I'd assume all technology from phone
companies & alike to either be heavily stupid or police/spy-friendly
backdoored and dangerous solutions like the WAP enctyption.

The big question with companies is...
  * don't they care?
  * or are they totally clueless?
  * or do they build this crap intentionally?

Personly, I believe they are totally clueless. Take the weak GSM
enctryption, why is it so weak? There is no point, really, as for the
police to do their job they can sniff much easier at the unencenrypted
server channels. Or the XOR encrypted cellphones, shouldn't 40 bit DES be
a better and exportable solution?

If someone makes sense of these blunders, they're better person than me ;)
