Them furriners can't write 'cryption, 'n' 'sides, no Murrican'd buy furrin stuff anyways.

[And I have to say this is one thing I disagree with Trump on. I'm okay with companies not giving the Feds backdoors to everything, given that the Feds consider the American people their number one enemy.]

Non-US encryption is 'theoretical,' claims CIA chief in backdoor debate
No choice but to use American gear, grins spymaster
17 Jun 2016 - Iain Thomson

CIA director John Brennan told US senators they shouldn't worry about mandatory encryption backdoors hurting American businesses.

And that's because, according to Brennan, there's no one else for people to turn to: if they don't want to use US-based technology because it's been forced to use weakened cryptography, they'll be out of luck because non-American solutions are simply "theoretical."

Thus, the choice is American-built-and-backdoored or nothing, apparently.

The spymaster made the remarks at a congressional hearing on Thursday after Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) questioned the CIA's support for weakening cryptography to allow g-men to peek at people's private communications and data.
