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.

They are adding backdoors by purpose, they didn't add the exhaust as an intentional flaw.
I guess you could say this is destructive to encryption. I don't think "bring the entire thing down with ease" is a good way to explain encryption.
Yes, I can see it right now, red leader running and slam dunking the exhaust port.
Also, have an upvoat. :)
