- dsfyu404ed 7y agoIn the long run political problems require political solutions. If you come up with a technical solution and said solution is adopted widely enough to matter the laws will be changed to render that technical solution irrelevant or illegal (not necessarily directly). For example, the fact that you could make your own alcohol in all sorts of ways and that regular people had easy enough access to alcohol didn't render prohibition irrelevant. Organized crime ran rampant and federal law enforcement ran rampant after them until enough people agreed "yeah this is stupid, let's just make booze legal again" for there to be political will to repeal prohibition.
