then let us make that backdoor hard to open, to the point where their effort in money is bigger than the revenue in money they expect to gain for hunting fraudsders down...

effort versus Gain.
and good encryption can easily tip that balance in your favor.

Encryption would make that door impossible to find if you have a good encryption method.There are prison gangs in the US that encryption systems that the FBI has a hard time cracking.Those people are using pen and paper though you can encrypt electronically.

Better yet do not talk about how you plan to cheat on your taxes via e-mail.

Looks like another win for me.

Is this why the US government said spreading PGP outside the States would be "munitions export without a license"?

If you can prove it has a backdoor, you'll certainly become famous - as the first person in 22 years who could do so.

Can they at least delete the FR33 V1aGRA e-mails, and all the Nigerian princes and shipping magnates who wish to endow me with gold bullion after they wade through all the nonsense that my email box holds?

I have not looked through it in 2 weeks, I would appreciate if they cleaned out all the spam for me.

Thanks IRS. Going the way of 1950s Russia, with 2010 technology, scary, Orwellian.

How long before we are screaming at the telescreen with Emmanuel Goldsteins face on it? Not because we hate him, but because we have to...

We are so getting close to that. Drones, gun control, pure repression.

A clear violation of the 4th amendment.
The IRS will have you believe otherwise.

United States v. Steven Warshak et al. 2010 established that E-mail would fall under 4th amendment protection.
