    Sorry, I don’t mean to say it’s unnecessary in the event of a breach, you’re absolutely correct there, I was just spitballing on the idea of encryptions without self-destruct buttons in majority non I-am-highly-targeted-by-CIA scenarios, how vigilant you’d have to be. With house warrants for instance, I was like “well, as the likelihood of them going being able to decrypt increases you should be on the look-out for alternative methods or harder encryption yeah”

      All good, thanks for clarifying! Yeah, the warrantless searches the government thinks they can do, along with the ability to change the rules to target anyone they don’t like, means that everyone is now in a “highly targeted by the CIA” scenario. At least, I’ve updated my threat model, and I’m ready to nuke everything at the first kick on my door. I don’t have anything to hide, but I also don’t plan to give anyone anything without my consent.
