There is always the terrorist's, pedophiles, and spy's ohh my, card.

I personally would suggest cliche phrases like.

"If we allow encryption the terrorists will win!"

On a side note, I suggest you change your argument to the pro side.

Bruce Schneier has written some good material on pro encryption, check
out http://www.counterpane.com/crypto-gram.html or read his book "Secret
and Lies".

BTW, not many people on this list are anti-encryption.
