The cogent upshot of which is that the weakest point in a crypto system is almost always the users. Near the end, unfortunately, the panel degenerated into "aren't terrorists evil", which, while true, is not very illuminating.

What makes it true? Saying we think terrorists are evil is basically saying we'd prefer to fight people who can afford standing armies. Terrorists blow up school buses and the World Trade Center, we blow up Dresden and Baghdad. I'm not sure I see the difference other than financing.
