Question
The security trade
Answer
Every measure buys real security and spends privacy, a new way in, or a power that outlasts the emergency.
Question
The security ratchet
Answer
Removing a power means arguing publicly that the threat has gone, so measures are extended rather than repealed.
Question
How to judge a security measure
Answer
By what it will be used for in ten years, not by this emergency — and attach a review date.
Question
Why a reporting duty is cheap in rights terms
Answer
It collects from organisations rather than from people, so it corrects an incentive instead of removing a right.
