My preferred analogy is paper shredders. Imagine if any criminal could just walk into a store and buy a paper shredder so effective that it's impossible for the FBI to piece the data back together, with or without a warrant, no matter how many resources they throw at it.

Clearly the solution is to require every paper shredder to be equipped with a camera to scan documents and upload them to cloud.gov before shredding. Of course, nobody would be authorized to look at the data without a warrant, and we should trust that nobody working for the government would ever break this law.

The next step would be to outlaw fire because of its ability to render paper 100% unrecoverable.
