<i>&quot;The thing is, if privacy advocates lose this fight, we have a greater chance of losing the next one.&quot;</i><p>I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s true, but even if I&#x27;m wrong, you could say that about <i>any</i> skirmish in the privacy debate. Every legal case sets some precedent that affects the next one.<p>Also, I don&#x27;t agree that this is government overreach. This case seems about as clear-cut an example of a &quot;good&quot; investigatory behavior as we&#x27;re likely to see. If you can&#x27;t get behind the idea of compromising privacy when there&#x27;s a valid warrant, in the case of a <i>known mass murderer</i> with probable ties to international terrorist groups, well...you&#x27;ve set an exceptionally high bar. I&#x27;m a reasonable person, I see your position, and I disagree with you on the merits of your argument.
