    To me this means:

    • They couldn’t figure out how to do it, or

    • It was too expensive to implement, and

    • They’ll just get the NSA to share the data with them at a fraction of the cost

      You forgot one:

      • They’ll quietly re-introduce it in another 6-18 months.

      I’m going to go with Hanlon’s Razor for this one.

      The vast majority of knuckle dragging idiots of this world have no concept of how the technology they use every day actually works.

        How is it impossible? Just proxy all the SSL connections, use MITM certificates and break/inspect the data, capturing it to your own PCAP Servers.

        EDIT: There’s more to it than that, but these are some of the fundamentals.

              Not sure what you’re saying. They can implement it easily enough if they are going to take over as CA sure, but it can also be easily bypassed because the certificate mechanism itself isn’t compromised, just the authority.

              Fuck the authority.
