They will keep trying again and again and again. The assault on privacy has been going on for decades and it will never stop.

You've gotta defend for an infinite amount of time, but they've only gotta succeed once.

Nono, it will always only be used to catch criminals, that won't change...it's what makes someone a criminal that changes.
