I think part of this acceptance of the "well if it saves one [usually child's] life..." - it's extremely powerful but is deceptive as it devalues the value of freedom (or some similar trait).

Another variant of this is: "What, you don't want to catch the pedophiles?"

"Oh course there will be exceptions for politicians and authorized individuals, for national security reasons."

Yeah, "think of the children" is a rhetorical technique but also a logical fallacy.

seems categorically different to have something beep vs informing law enforcement or w/e. and also don't think politicans are going to get cars without this installed

I think they forgot about children safety!
