Good. It's probably better that a young curmudgeonly asshole like myself that has zero respect for unquestioned authority go through the years long process of bringing a clear case of 4th and 5th amendment violations through to the supreme court.

I personally would rather rot in jail in contempt if it meant that these questions of personal property, privacy and self-incrimination were discussed and settled legally. It's a question of civic duty at that point.

Too late to edit, but here's a citation:

> (2) The cost of the proposed countermeasure compared with the cost associated with the impact if the adversary exploited the vulnerability.

> (3) The possibility that the countermeasure could create an OPSEC indicator.
