I find the name "think of the children" a bit of a dumb name for a campaign that wants to stop you from securely encrypting photos of your children incase you ever loose your phone.
So yes think of the children, don't put backdoors in encryption for paedophiles to exploit.
Honestly, everyone who has two neurons has to look behind the smokescreen. This just seems PR at their finest hour to foreign people abroad not stop buying american products, and to people, both at home and abroad be lulled into a false sense of security. Will you tell me Microsoft, Cisco and Apple, true "american" firms, and that built their might and power being in bed with the establishment, and having contracts with the DoD, do not have backdoors??? Not really? You certainly are insulting my intelligence here.
Its just a show. This is for planting the idea that they can't already decrypt anything they want. Of course they can, and do regularly. They know no sensible human race would ever give them legal authority on it...they just want the idea planted that they can't.
The fact that spooks don't know what people think also means investigating with one hand tied behind the back. Law enforcement is supposed to INVESTIGATE, they are not supposed to just KNOW. Back in the day before telephones, Internet, etc. they also had to solve and investigate crime, no electronic surveillance, either. Law enforcement just got bad and lazy over the years: they just want to be above the law and access whatever they please to access; constitution be damned.
Where in the Constitution does it say..."Think of the children"?
Well...article 2, section 8 has a congressional power of "common defense and general welfare."
A harder question (perhaps) might be "Where in the Constitution does it say individuals have a right of Privacy?" I think I know, but there are some who disagree....

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
This can certainly be construed as a right to privacy. It is not verbatim a "right to privacy," but in many cases can be argued to provide even more protections than just privacy affords. That is, until the Constitution starts getting trampled on (R.I.P. 2nd amendment)...

Cisco does build in back doors, and they do get exploited: Attackers are hijacking critical networking gear from Cisco, company warns | Ars Technica
How did they catch criminals before they could illegally hack their devices....
