permalink FBI wants backdoor

Former FBI chief takes on encryption. Louis Freeh is urging lawmakers to limit encryption products that don't include backdoors for government surveillance.
[CNET News.com]
This sounds vaguely familiar. Am I missing something? Providing a backdoor sounds like the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Noone took him seriously, right? Right?
When Louis Freeh ran the FBI, he loved nothing more than launching into a heartfelt rant against the dangers of encryption technology.

In dozens of hearings and public speeches, the FBI director would urge Congress to limit encryption products, such as Web browsers and e-mail scrambling utilities, that did not include backdoors for government surveillance.
