I plan to spend a substaintial portion of my day explaining to the
large companies I consult with that this is a very bad thing, and they
should be opposing its advance.

I intend to take the 11 cryptographers paper as my primary tack, and
am wondering if anyone has any other good "upper management" type
arguments that I should use.
