No matter what you believe the easiest way to decide on this is to remember that power change hands all the time. Imagine the person with the most despicable and extreme view (in your opinion) that you know. Imagine that this person holds the power to decide which “doors to unlock” also imagine the most corrupt person that you know, imagine that person with unlimited copies of such key.
Then I ask you , would giving those two people those unlimited copies of everybody keys make you feel safer?
If the answer is no, you would just be making nasty times nastier.
