    Bush is just pandering to his base - those who pay his campaign debts.

    He knows that this is dumb and that even if this is legal in America, criminals don't mind breaking the law.

      Yes, but if he were somehow able to get an anti-encryption bill pass a lot of innocent people are going to get unfairly caught by it. I've never found "this is dumb" to be a compelling reason for a Bush to change their policy.
