Wake up.  It's not key escrow, it's key recovery.  Every message will be
encrypted with a LEAF (law enforcement access field).  This is an additional
recipient who can decrypt the message.  No user or corporate secret
keys are escrowed.  You're working with yesterday's scenario.

	Oh, great. So there will be a few hundred LEAKs (Law Enforcement 
Agency Keys) laying around on hard drives all over the country so these 
LEA's can decrypt the messages. Great.
