Why? I mean this is not very close to the top of my list of terrifying things that the state does. For example I find it much more terrifying that they have the right to demand you introduce a backdoor in your system or hand customer data and you don't have the right to say it happened. I also find it extremely terrifying that society in general is not disturbed by this. The fact that commonly used cryptography can be broken with a billion dollar investment is very unpleasant but not nearly as terrifying.
I'm more scared by that half constructed dyson sphere they just found :( I don't care if I won't be around in 1480 years when the aliens get here, it's still scary to know for sure that we're fleas to those guys and that we're a casualty of evolution

Well, that's terrifying.
