It's simply, "hardware or operating system level backdoors". And we also
know that those backdoors exist for a very very long time.
So, there isn't any problem for accessing "targeted" access to any kind of
private data.
They just need to "legalize" a "de facto" truth: Asking hardware and/or
operating system level  backdoors passwords by a legitimate court order in
case of strong suspicion(In fact, they are actually and legally doing this
for regular phone calls, with court orders. They must just pass a new law
for operating system/hardware level access to devices).
They make cheap demagogy!
