Most UK HN readers yes, most UK citizens wouldn't have a clue though, sadly. I imagine the prevailing attitude is that encryption (i.e. messages that the police cannot read) allow terrorists to plot things in secret. In a month with three terrorist attacks, it's easy political capital to clamp down on such things.

I won't be surprised if many (in the leave camp) will construe this as the EU sabotaging the security of its member countries.
