    Makes sense to me. You care about the 4th Amendment right to be secure from unreasonable searches and he cares about keeping all his secret communicatin with his Russian handlers secure from incidental discovery during an unreasonable search.

      I mean, maybe. But you can aways catch people using traditional surveillance methods to catch shit like that. There is no need to add backdoor spy devices and APIs into every electronic device that is connected to the internet. It’s fucking unnecessary and way extremely over the top big brother, and could lead to some really shit suppression of opposing viewpoints. Just wait until a smart authoritarian person goes and fills trumps shoes, then we’ll really be in trouble.
