This kind of access always escalates from "Just Once" to "Only in Specific, very rare circumstances" to "Needs a Court Order" to "Whenever we want".

Like with wiretaps? With wiretaps you have an activity which many would consider an invasion of privacy, yet when properly controlled through legislation, has not turned “only in specific, very rare circumstances” which need a court order to “Whenever we want.” And I can’t think of any similar type of activity which has. What happens with wiretaps is actually a good rough model for what should happen with cell phones and requests to crack them.
