I'm in complete agreement with you that this will provide much needed motivation for adoption of technical security.

I have to wonder though, does technical literacy or computer science training really cause a person to respect basic civil liberties?

The people who built the mass surveillance apparatus must be just as much a part of the technical community as anyone here.

It would help avoid the stupid nonsense calls for "backdoors to encryption," because people with such an education would realize that "backdoors to encryption" is identical to "no encryption whatsoever."
