If Snowden is telling the truth, and he seems very credible, we're basically there already. E2E encryption is among the most promising ways to retain our Fourth Amendment right (to have protection against unreasonable searches). Taking away E2EE is akin to taking away our fourth amendment right.
I don't want terrorism or other criminal activity, and I'm sorry if this makes some security roles more difficult, but the bill of rights must still be honored. I hope this argued well and goes to the supreme court if necessary.
