I understand that's why these non profits have spring up, but I don't think their existence means you have a reasonable chance in our legal system. They simply don't have the resources to help everyone

I know, it's a tough question. Ordinary citizens are unlikely to sue government individually. And i am aware EFF doesn't have infinite resources. I prefer them fighting at higher level than individual cases. Cases like encryption being unlawful etc are more important for democracy/freedom than my inconvenience at the border for example.

All of that is reasonable but I was replying to the poster who stated that people still have a reasonable chance in our system. I don't believe that is true any longer, if it ever was
