If the goal is to stop terrorism and illegal drug trade, this is the epitome of idiocy. End to end encryption isn't trivial to implement, but at the same time there are many open source projects that implement it already. If this become the norm, than professional criminals will simply adopt open source tools and 3rd party programs, as well as products offered by companies outside US to ensure their privacy. So this will weaken the security of all honest people and do basically nothing to achieve any of the goals set forth in this legislature. Of course if the goal is to further control and subjugate the citizens of this country for the benefit of it's corrupt government, then by all means, it's a brilliant piece of legislature.
