The NSA, CIA, FBI, and a host of other alphabet soup agencies always insist they need backdoor access to computers to fight terrorism. When people complain about the privacy violations they are told the old asinine answer of the tyrant. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.
Well we saw that we have something to fear after all. The digital equivalent of a nuclear bomb was stolen and used to literally hack the planet. It has caused dangerous delays in medical care. Huge disruption to business and governments around the globe.
That is the real danger. We worry constantly about some terrorist getting their hands on a nuke and blowing hell out of a city. We never wondered what would happen if someone decided to use the digital back doors to computer networks. Far more widespread disruption than a single nuke could ever create.

Now the question is what do we do next? It is obvious that these backdoor access programs are more dangerous to the public than any terrorist threat we might face.
