We don't need [a 'Manhattan-like project'](http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/12/hillary-clinton-wants-manhattan-like-project-to-break-encryption/) to create more security holes like this one — if you create backdoors, even for legitimate purposes, you'll simply be increasing the likelihood that incidents like this will continue to happen.
