    To me this means:

    • They couldn’t figure out how to do it, or

    • It was too expensive to implement, and

    • They’ll just get the NSA to share the data with them at a fraction of the cost

      You forgot one:

      • They’ll quietly re-introduce it in another 6-18 months.

        Ha, yes. I was thinking about that after I posted the comment.

        How is it impossible? Just proxy all the SSL connections, use MITM certificates and break/inspect the data, capturing it to your own PCAP Servers.

        EDIT: There’s more to it than that, but these are some of the fundamentals.

            Nah, better to I2P or Tor: they don’t need certs at all.
