My reading of the BSA blurb was that software key escrow really is
being planned: "software implementable [and] based on a non-classified
encryption formula". Yes, this sounds pretty silly. I don't see how
you could possibly prevent a rogue phone from interoperating with a
fascistic one. Guess I need to snarf the original document.
