He pointed out that catching criminals can only be made so easy before it becomes detrimental. And that point is either when the tools can be used by anyone (i.e. not specialist investigators) or when the tools begin to facilitate crime.</text></comment>

It can also be cracked and there will always be product y without a backdoor. Don&apos;t the legislators see this? Or are criminals statistically really that lazy that they will still use mobile phones even though they are compromised.&lt;p&gt;According to &quot;The Wire&quot; they often even put extra layers of encryption security, anyway. Such behavior would make that legislation even more useless, as it would indeed only target the innocent that don&apos;t take extra precautions.</text></comment>
