The argument is that they would have to pass the law first to compel the manufacturers to implement the switch in every phone. Then any other agency outside that law's jurisdiction can take advantage of the presence of the switch with little oversight.
It would still likely result in lawsuits anywhere it was used regardless of the law.

- talmand 12y agoI haven't seen anyone claim the bill empowers the government implementing the law beyond what it states. The bill includes restrictions on the government at the level that falls within the jurisdiction of the law. The argument is what about jurisdictions that have no such law nor restrictions and take advantage of the existing hardware feature? If we're talking Federal law then what you say makes sense, but as far as I know this is about a state law.
