I'm torn on this one. First, I agree with your position; any backdoor is an opening and while we would like to believe we're smarter than the guy trying to get in, that is not always the case. Law enforcement has a legitimate need to be able to get to encrypted data quickly. I need to ponder this one.

Any security format be it keyed door lock or a cyber back door or a bank vault is only secure as long as there is no one smarter than the developer to figure it out.
Having worked in this field for some time I know there are a multitude of ways to create a back door and secure it. One that to an average hacker would be difficult or impossible to beat. But then there are always 'smarter' people.
One of the best ways is a multi-pass parsed encrypted key. And like where you see in the old cold war movies that to launch you need two or more physical encryption 'keys' that are controlled and inserted by two individuals. In this case they maybe in the form of separate thumb drive or pass card that also must be counter signed by the holder with a passcode to work.
But even that methodology has obvious flaws

Actually my feelings about this is very simple..... If Barr/Trump are pushing it.
WATCH OUT!

Strongly opposed. A backdoor is a vulnerability anyone can exploit, and we know the NSA has a long history of losing control of their toolkits. I support strong encryption for the same reasons I support the Second Amendment. Government cannot have all the power. The fact that Barr wants this power is a data point supporting the idea that he is not qualified to hold his current post.

I think there needs to be a very quick, "due process" methodology allowing law enforcement to get through encryption. I completely disagree with your last sentence however. Barr is fully qualified to be the AG. This is a policy difference, not a qualification issue.

Government that wants this much power is fundamentally dangerous, and a government official who forwards this agenda does not understand the concept of freedom that is supposed to be the bedrock of this nation, and is unqualified to hold any office on that basis.

I'm a solid 'no' on this. If there is a back door that the government can use you can bet pretty safely that they will abuse this.
