We have seen this before. Read the book "The Electronic Privacy Papers"
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0471122971/103-0612283-8361407?v=glance&n=283155)

and Google for "Operation Root Canal"
(http://www.cpsr.org/prevsite/cpsr/privacy/epic/epic_v_fbi/overview_root_canal_docs.txt).

The same arguments, just 12 years ago...

also interesting reading: http://www.totse.com/en/zines/cud_a/cud619.html
(search for Ronald Rivest's answer).
