Lawful interception is a joke. Dragnet spying is what passive encryption breaking enables, and it's what the authorities are always after, not targeted surveillence for a specific purpose. If there were any respect for the fourth amendment by LEO and the government at large, I might sympathize a bit more with lawful interception schemes.

Meanwhile, in reality, I look forward to the need to have every person location-tracked even without a cell phone. I'll cynically bet its part of "the discussion" by the time I'm retirement age. Being untracked just presents too many dangers!
