It isn't necessarily the case that they all care if criminals can get in to the average person's data so long as the authorities also can.

Yeah. Not buying it. They know, or someone smart enough told them that backdoors can be accessed by anyone with enough skill. They just don't care because the people that are asking for this are criminals already and wanting profit off of other people's data.

The comment's clarity was not questioned. You are passing around the same tired line that because politicians do not understand technology and how it can be used against anyone. Sure computers are new but communication technology is not. All a politician needs to understand is "capability". That is it. "We can read their communications", no degree in CS required. Also, they have power geeks advising them left and right. They know "capabilities" can be misused. They know this.

Is this clear?
