An encryption backdoor is the equivalent of that little tiny exhaust port on the Death Star that Luke Skywalker used to to blow the whole thing up.

I almost downvoated you. :(

I've see so much plain sw advertisements (and spoilers) lately.

This is not like the situation you are referring too. That is an extremely hard shot made by someone using the force. Anyone could have made it.

This will be an instant unlock key. Either you have it or you don't. When it leaks, everyone will have it and a slightly modified version will have to come out. How can this be related to your example? Can I instantly download some force sensitivity?

This was a stupid rant, have a good night.

I'm more just using it as an analogy because both are flaws that are built into a system that can bring the entire thing down with ease. Also, if someone didn't have the force they could have just kamikaze'd it like the guy in Independence Day.
