You are absolutely correct. I remember being told that I was paranoid when I had concerns about CALEA. I was worried that it would be used for purposes other than warrant-backed monitoring of actual criminals and criminal suspects. Here we are, 20 years later and even though there's no evidence that things are quite as bad as I feared, it's certainly much more invasive than we were told it would be. Even the most controversial and contentious of issues are quickly forgotten or mis-remembered by the public. This IS the last stand on this front. If Apple loses, we all lose.
