&gt; Are search warrants oppressive?<p>A search warrant doesn&#x27;t require me to create a new capability that did not exist before.<p>From the FAQ:<p><pre><code>  The digital world is very different from the physical world. In
  the physical world you can destroy something and it’s gone.
  But in the digital world, the technique, once created, could
  be used over and over again, on any number of devices...

  The only way to guarantee that such a powerful tool isn’t abused
  and doesn’t fall into the wrong hands is to never create it.</code></pre>
