You don't think something like this, if known to the government, would make it harder to get security clearance? That's necessary for a lot of government positions, as well as private sector jobs that contract to the government.
Additionally, if you run for office against me and I'm a law-and-order conservative, you can bet your ass I'll be running "djim doesn't want to give law enforcement the tools it needs to stop terrorists" ads if I find out about it.

You know how when you give your teenager the keys to your car, and they abuse that by going somewhere they weren't supposed to go? And you take the keys away? Well, that's what we're doing... we're taking the keys away, since they have shown that they can't be trusted with those keys."
