Although concerning and moronic, I'm comforted by the fact that this bill is so fantastically infeasible that I'll never personally have to worry about it as a developer. Any organization where you could be secretly compelled to introduce a back door in such a way that it wouldn't be detected is not a company I will work for.

Sure, you can put alerts on your alerts and monitor your monitoring, but you need people to manage that second layer too. And no matter how tightly you restrict access, you’ll need people to manage access control.
