Meanwhile in the real world, criminals will resort to sending encrypted USB sticks via post, or carrier pigeons, or implanted in mules. There is always a way around these things for those that absolutely do not want their communications compromised. It is safe to say that any criminal enterprise knows that live electronic communication of any sort is likely to be compromised.
Also of concern, is that criminals will now have extra attack vectors to sensitive data, because if encryption has to be weakened for Government, it will be easier for other parties to exploit.
