Well maybe
Supplying known criminals with monitored electronic devices is not illegal nor unethical. It's time for many folks to understand that digital communication is not guaranteed to be secure nor should it be. Conventional POTS telephone communication was never secure and it's monitoring by authorities to prosecute criminals was always legal. There is no reason to believe digital or other communications should not be monitored to convict crims or for security reasons. Crims are hacking personal electronics all the time yet there is little outcry by the privacy advocates. Very strange.
