This statement is not acknowledging our concerns' validity, but brushing them aside with the tired old "nothing to hide" fallacy.

They are indeed interested in "the millions of devices of everyday citizens", because in their warped power-craving worldview, every one of those citizens could actually be a "sleeper threat" committing precrime. If they really are not interested, then why are they continuing to saber-rattle for criminalizing those millions' activities?
