      In the US there was a period of time where it was illegal to export encryption above a certain level, so in a way it has already happened. Dumb has never stopped governments before.

      Are you sure about that> The UK is doing dumb stuff no doubt, but its mostly sound and fury of a dying government with no chance of actually being implemented.
