   There will always be some criminals who are sophisticated enough to evade surveillance (until they make a mistake) - but that doesn't mean it's useless as many violent and/or organised criminals do get caught. Many get caught

   How about we take a bigger-picture view than the implementation flaws of this super-rushed law and ask what is to be done about encrypted messages that allow many serious criminals to circumvent traditional police powers of search & sur
