Most of us have heard the conservative argument that gun control laws only hurt the law-abiding public. That the criminals will just find a way around them. It drives liberals up the wall.
Today, I heard that super cyber sleuths (NSA) want broader laws to allow them to spy on everyone. The narrator, liberal as all get out, complained that these laws would just hurt the law-abiding public. Just like the pro-gun argument.
First off, the bad guys are fast at figuring ways around any software blocks put in their way by any bureaucracy.
Second, the “back door” entry to public encryption software that NSA wants for the sleuths to use to spy on anyone would be a portal (point of entry) for the bad guys to get into anyone’s software to spy or steal.
What is good for the goose (gun control) is good for the gander (encryption software), unless you are liberal.
