There may be something in the view that there are enough laws already on
the books that if government agents want to give you grief, they can find a
way. Adding another one is minor compared with preventing crypto
restrictions via executive order. (How many laws did you break today?
Since I drove a car, I broke at least one. With respect for the law gone,
the law has only fear, and that's a function of enforcement, and subject to
economic realities.) YMMV.
Of course, getting rid of these kinds of laws is a project which is long
overdue starting and not adding new ones would be a good start. (But
that's another rant.)
