No. That's not what will happen. Some guy who worked at two different places will note that the FBI demands everything conform to the SAME standards - including the backdoor password. It won't get hacked (at least, not right away); the password will become semipublic knoweledge.

And, of course, the people they're trying to actually catch will simply get a few Virtual Private Networks set up. Have fun breaking that 1024 bit (or whatever) PGP key this side of eternity.
