Unless the algorithm is sloppy, breaking passwords quickly is something for TV shows and bad thrillers. That is why the FBI and NSA are so intent that companies be forced to cripple their encryption software, it is alsio why companies have been telling those adencies to FOAD.
With many of the newer systems, not even the company that wrote the software and designed the hardware can break it. The old idea that any code can be broken died with software like PGP and it successors.

I understand the concern from both sides. Sad that we have arrived at this level of worry.
Technology now allows people to carry viruses and other "system crashing" software on smaller and smaller devices. If the country does NOT have it's infrastructure protected from "inside threats" then they could lose vital services.

If someone wanted to import code for harm a E-mail would work as a transport method or a stripped down micro SD card( 2mm square and thinner than paper) which you could hide anywhere undetectable. This looks like security theater, an excuse for spying on the public without due cause
