Actually they dont need to force you to install a backdoor, they trick
you into installing a back door unknowingly. So you are unaware that all
your encrypted email is being decrypted by them.
e.g. by having two MS code signing keys, one owned by MS the other by
the NSA.
There are many such exploits available to governments (Flame, Duqu and
more fun from the Olympic Games come to mind)
