The takeaway is that your children may grow up in a world where it's impossible to guarantee the government can't get into your computer if it really wanted to.
The government has always had access to everything if they a) really wanted to and b) had just cause. That's why search warrants, tailing suspects, court-approved phone taps, bank account freezes, etc etc etc exist.
The notion that the government ought to not be allowed into your computer, ever, doesn't seem grounded in either reality or historical precedent.
