useful to criminals?

I did take time to have a re-think after the events of 9/11. However, on balance I believe it is still the right thing to do. Like gun control, if we ban weapons only the police and criminals will have them. Banning encryption or anonymity is not going to make criminals stop using encryption or attempting to be anonymous. It is almost laughable for anyone to be so naive as to believe that passing any law would make the least difference to a criminal. I believe that the individual should be allowed to choose, not the Government on his behalf.
