Of course it is not about security. The moment that legislation becomes active, anybody doing anything they are screening for will move on to some other communications platform. There will never be a way to control/screen all communication, and there will always be a new, covert communication channel be found for anybody who does not want to be listened to - even if that is PGP-encrypted carrier pidgeons or something. The only people that will be listened to, that will be watched are the "normal" ones, the ones that "don't have anything to hide". And they will have to painfully learn that actually, they do have something to hide. Otherwise, humanity would not have invented toilet doors.
