What the politicians want is partial security: something they can crack but criminals can't. That is achievable in physical security, but not in cybersecurity.
I have a feeling the politicians already know partial cybersecurity isn't an option, and don't care. Certainly, the intelligence community advising them absolutely does know. We don't even have to be conspiratorial about it: their jobs are easier in the world where secrets are illegal than in the world where hackers actually get stopped.
