Everytime I hear such stories remember about Overton window [1], its a way from unthinkable to policy,
Around 10-15years ago privacy issues were almost unthinkable (phase #1) (average person didn't think about privacy too much), then wikileaks came out, then Snowden (phase #2, radical) and so on.
Sure FBI has access to phone calls in San Bernardino case, but they are making buzz in news, in order to step to next level, probably from sensible phase into popular, then naturally next step would be `policy phase` and surveillance would be totally legal and everyone will accept this, if not we, then next generation would accept it.
