Given the stained, with the blood of innocents, history of law enforcement in the USA I'm infinitely skeptical of every action they take that sets new precedent for expansions of their powers. I recognize the need for law enforcement and largely support those involved, however they have earned their reputation with decades of bad decisions and will continue to be the subject of criticism, condemnation, and distrust until they can find it within themselves to relinquish unnecessary powers, right their wrongs, modernize their culture, and prosecute the numerous bad actors in their ranks. As far as warrants go, I don't expect anything with "national security implications" to be denied, ever. Have you heard of the fisa court? >11 denied requests out of around 34,000 granted in 35 years – equivalent to 0.03% https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Court https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intell... I'm not saying we need to burn down the internet and start over. But couldn't we toss 5-10 billion a year to leaders in the software world to design a secure os and hardware from first principles? Is humanity too vulnerable to individual whims like greed and lust for power ends prestige to accomplish such a feat? This country landed a person on the moon with computers less powerful than my cell phone, or laptop. We made the atomic bomb. Humanity is up to the task, I believe our leaders have lost their way and this article is more evidence of that.
