Perhaps conservatives will find compelling a comparison to the second amendment. When crypto was outlawed, only outlaws will have crypto. The letter I sent to my senators is as follows: I care deeply about the safety and security of my fellow Americans. I understand the challenges that strong encryption poses for law enforcement. I don’t want the terrorists and pederasts to win. Yet, I strongly oppose Senate bill 4051, LAEDA. Consider giving a copy of your house keys the police just in case they need to come in without you knowing. Boy, I hope no one ever decides to steal all those keys at once. I hope no one guarding the keys ever develops an opioid addiction and decides to sell just a few keys. I hope China and Russia don’t get curious about what you are discussing with your colleagues and decide it would just be easiest to raid the key pantry. Meanwhile, the real bad guys will just continue using existing, strong crypto. When crypto is outlawed, only outlaws will have crypto. As a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment, you understand that it is every person’s right to defend themselves against the evil forces in the world as well as protect against a potentially tyrannical government. Just because some criminals use guns for evil doesn’t mean we should curtail the rights of the majority who uses them for lawful defense. Please don’t be fooled that LAED or EARNIT leave strong crypto intact until a warrant is issued. No. These acts force everyone, law abiding or not, to install a trigger lock the government can switch on remotely. Do we really trust the next administration not abuse that right? Do we really trust big business that much? Personally, I prefer to stand my ground. I have done nothing wrong. I will not hand over my rights to defend myself.
