Is there any good information on what has been accomplished through such access etc ?

What have they stopped using such methods? I think if they wanted to get anything like this moving forward they need to show results. Not too many trust the government these days.

I do not like the idea of "backdoors" but I can see realistic need for such things. I think many are against such things "until" some massive WMD type attack then the tune will change.

If it worked, they probably wouldn't tell us (don't want your targets to wise up).

And if it didn't work, they probably wouldn't tell us (just in case it might sometime...)

Thats my thinking as well, but I dont think they will change anyones minds if they dont show some sort of results.
