Something I see as more likely than not eventually.  Probably taking the form of blocking all encrypted traffic for which no usable back-door can be readily verified.

That will work until some ingenious hacker finds a way to get into the back door or some corrupt government employee sells all the private keys to the Russian Mafia, and then you can say goodbye to e-commerce, full stop.

It's a stupid idea even for a government.
