See the footnote cited as [1] in assumption `A`. This does not make the argument itself false. It makes the implementation and practice flawed. Due to improper practice, people no longer trust the government to draw its own line in the sand and declare "We shall not cross this line!" Rightfully so! But that still does not take away the reality of the situation: Improved encryption methods means secure communications of which cannot be intercepted or prevented by a government body with the goals of protecting its citizens. This poses a danger to the citizens. Now the citizens can accept that danger and keep their own communications secure from a government they no longer trust to stay within the drawn lines - or they find an alternative solution. Or they accept the fact that their desire for personal privacy is worth more than their security and make that sacrifice. I'll save you the time of finding the quote. "He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security."
