There was a time even before telephones and electronics.
I'm much more comfortable with law enforcement having to go back to using electronic bugs, in-person surveillance, and physical evidence gathering. Those things don't scale and don't have the security implications of their desired backdoors.
- josefresco 9y ago> There was a time even before telephones and electronics. Requiring law enforcement to use "pre electricity" technology only to catch thieves who are using cutting edge technology is incredibly naive. I can understand the worry about scaling specifically, but talk about "handcuffing" law enforcement! Also, since phone-taps are scalable, they'd have to drop that too - which would leave them with quite a toolset /s
