That being said, does anyone deny the need of government to conduct wiretaps when sanctioned by the appropriate court, and done within the scope of the law?

Yes, they had 200 warnings a day about 9-11 and did nothing. Those facts just came out in parts of the 9-11 investigation that have been declassified. So all this other stuff is just needless piling on. It's only the beginning of bad things to come.
Yes the future is here and it will only get worse.They had prior knowledge of 9-11 and what did they do.? Stood around with their heads up their azzes and they used their thumbs to pick their noses while their heads were lodged in the stink holes.

They just need to work with the ISP in question once they get a properly court-authorized warrant. A backdoor would basically mean that they would get a warrant (possibly, maybe, we'll see) and then just "turn on" monitoring of your Internet connection. Meanwhile, a hacker group (or terrorist sympathizer hackers if you want to push some more hot buttons) could figure out how to turn on remote monitoring and listen in on traffic to gather data for any purpose (e.g. terror attacks just to keep pushing those hot buttons ;-) ).

That being said, does anyone deny the need of government to conduct wiretaps when sanctioned by the appropriate court, and done within the scope of the law? I'll be the first to admit their have been abuses of wiretap laws in this country, but how long is it before organized crime and drug traffickers catch on to this technology, leaving law enforcement hamstrung?

I'm not condoning a carte blanche solution, but some sort of balance that allows the government to do what is, in my humble opinion, the most important thing it does.

All I needs now is some hacker cherrypicking CC numbers and other business and financial info from routers all over my ISP. Imagine a hacker being able to listen in on financial transactions in a large bank and its network.
