David Sternlight * In most of the world cars have been registered for
many years, yet no democratic government has used
that as a way to confiscate cars (except for those
used in law violations).

Bad analogy (IMHO). Having your car registered does not mean that it
can be searched without your permission. Where as with registration of
private keys the possibility exists that your private messages could
be read at will without your permission and/or knowledge. Totally
different scenario.
