That's like saying "If you lock your doors, it makes it harder for police to raid meth labs". No, numbnuts. The bad guys will lock their doors, no matter what laws you put into place. All you are doing to making sure that average americans have no privacy.
This is the whole idea. Weakening privacy make it easier to snoop on political activists and opositionists, so if push come to the shove, they have all the material they need to harrass, discredit of even arrest those people. Ask anyone who lived or lives under dictatorships like Egypt or pseudo/proto dictatorships like Venezuela. Claiming it's for law enforcement is only a sugar coating to sell it to the same public that'll be victimized by this. It's like claiming they're trying to "protect the children" when the real objective of Internet filtering is plain old censorship of information.

I think they are quite aware of that.
