Blessed are the cryptographers, labelling them criminal enablers is just foolish

[We've never managed to build a house that is impervious to burglary (at least, not for average people), and people know that and accept the risk. I believe this will be the final situation for privacy breaches.]

You can still make things harder.

Burglary happens because of mainly two things, lack of job opportunities and desire for "easy money".

People who are desperate will do anything but those looking for easy money will most likely try to pick easy targets unless they think the extra work and risk is worth it.

That's why is quite stupid to have a safety door at the front of your house, unless most of your neighbors have them because is basically screaming at the world "I have money!"

But if you don't lock the door then you will be the easy target.

What governments want is for us to not lock our doors.
