"Custom firmware built to address one notice or request 
is not a systemic weakness unless it is deployed to 
users other than the intended targeted user."

I don't understand.  They're going to write encryption 
software with a weakness they can exploit and then force 
the criminal to put it on his computer?  How do they get 
this malware only on "the intended targeted user('s)" 
computer and no one elses???
  


"So long as the capability is held in reserve it does 
not jeopardise the security of other users and is not 
a systemic weakness," the department stated.

Um, it compromises "the security of other users" in 
that any computer interacting with the malware infected 
computer is compromised by the interaction.
