I think there's a third group for those "in tech": 3. I know how mindblowingly easy implementing and obfuscating strongly encrypted messages is. I know how expensive it is to crack iff it was even intercepted. Given the odds of being able to intercept and decrypt before an attack (the supposed raison d'être for these laws), I care that so much taxpayer money is being jizzed up the wall of what amounts to security theatre. Doing something to be seen doing something. I realise that even if not technically powerful, it does serve as a deterrent to the terrorists... But at the same time, as somebody living under this increasingly Orwellian nightmare, it also seems like the terrorists won.
