No problem with what you said.
The issue for me is what "powers" are granted.

Remember, public consideration was given to letting the industry fry peoples' computers in their homes. The industry was also given subpoena powers slightly greater than those given the FBI.

Now the Federal governments enforcement powers are being turned loose because private industry requests it.

And existing laws and rules and protections are being overturned because they might slow down the hunt.

Where on earth are the boundaries these governmental actions haven't crossed?
