Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? 9-11 taught us many things. One of which was that we don't need to crack all encryption on the planet. The "suspects" who did this were exactly that. Previously been identified as potential baddies, with the intent to do bad things. Authorities knew them/about them. Authorities failed to track/monitor/<other verbs> them, and 9-11 happened (and it was a horrible horrible event). Now, for the solution. Get authorities to get their shit straight, remove their heads from their asses, operate properly. The solution that "if nothing is a secret we would have prevented that".. imho doesn't stand. One shouldn't go about messing up with EVERYONE's privacy (and defined rights) because 100/1000 people in the world are baddies. The world shouldn't create next one Stasi in every country because of 9-11 or Bataclan or London Bridge. And lack of transparency is a pure characteristic of a "Stasi". Anyone with power, funding, combined with no transparency or accountability will become a dictator in their own domain. Humanity is not yet mature 'enough' ('enough' varies - eye of the beholder thingie)(btw this is not a threat, it's dissapointment/acceptance).
