> That debate must start with agreeing that your idealized agent does indeed have a harder job when all evidence moves from binders full of incriminating paper to an encrypted, impenetrable blob. Not accepting that truth makes you useless for your cause, because nobody who isn't already a convert will listen to you if you deny reality with ill-fitting analogies. This. 1000 times this. I'm actually really worried that, the harder our community pushes back against seemingly reasonable requests for access, and the louder we scream about stuff like the Texas shooter's phone, the less political capital we're going to have left to spend when we need it. And we're going to need a lot of it for this fight.
