There are no time limits. The complexity may be a problem now, but later the collected data will reveal anything they want about you.


>There are no time limits.

Yes there are, eventually you need to make a decision about whether to let this person into the country


Here's how it works:

Data (even encrypted data) is being collected and stored today. It is decrypted/made sense of whenever technology has reached the required maturity. At that moment, we become 100% open books. And you may feel that at the border (or elsewhere).


You will never have the technology to decrypt aes256.


By that time, open books may be less useful than the effort it takes to open them.
