Making iMessage unencrypted would not bother the 99.99%. SMS Messaging has been around a lot longer than iMessage or WhatsApp, so for the common folk it makes no odds. They would still have to go through the process to get that data from the providers.
Its all the other forms of encrypted traffic I'm concerned about - banking especially. It will be a backward step to enforce that kind of encrypted traffic to be compromised.
Its been proved that the attackers in the paris attacks used SMS, not iMessage or whatsapp.
The "Terrorist SecOps" document is one thats been around for years, all be it adjusted to include encrypted messaging and TOR.
Britain had a proud standing in cryptology, its a pity that all that people have achieved can be undermined by the near sighted.
Terrorism will always be here, IRA, Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and now ISIS (or whatever people want to call them), when they are gone, someone/thing will replace it.
It kind of reminds me of that sketch in Life of Brian
Its better to keep encryption than to destroy it.
