Huh? Are you sure you're not thinking of 2DES?
2DES is known to be not much more secure than DES: 2DES can be broken
with 2^56 operations and 2^56 space. (The space requirements can be
eliminated without too much extra cost in time.)
Could you post a reference for your claim that 2-key 3DES is insecure?
Or post an attack? Or anything?
