I've always thought a solution like LetsEncrypt would be an ideal backdoor for LEAs wanting to circumvent SSL/TLS.

The same thing applies to VPN services. Why bother trying to develop tools etc that can decrypt traffic when you can just have people send their traffic to you?

Why are your concerns specific to LetsEncrypt? They're just another CA, no?
