UK to "end" encryption?

[Daniel Pocock]

Hi all,

There is speculation in the UK press that the government there will take
further steps[1] against encryption, using the Manchester bombing as an
excuse.

"Government officials appear to have briefed newspapers that they will
put many of the most invasive parts of the relatively new Investigatory
Powers Act into effect after the bombing at Manchester Arena."

I wonder what this will mean for developers of free software who pass
through British airports with software like Tor on their devices?

Regards,

Daniel
