I am sure most politicians and intelligence people want to keep people safe, the problem is it is unlikely to be their only motivation.
Lets say we do manage to come up with an alternative that would keep people safe without requiring mass surveillance then it would not remove any of the other motivations (say business espionage). I think appealing to a technical solution for a political problem is unlikely to work, but it could be possible.
