When I was in Australia recently, the Australian analog of 
the FBI was putting pressure on companies offering virtual 
corporate networks to set it up so that the keys were 
automatically provided to the government.  They argued that 
it was already illegal to have encrypted pipes between one 
company office and another office of the same company. The 
affected corporations were not impressed. They appeared to
believe it was legal, and should remain so.
