But does it? In what way?

    They aren't allowed to tell you by law, and courts work with prosecution to keep implementation details away from the public, and investigators will engage in parallel construction to obfuscate the sources of evidence. That's just on the normal law enforcement side.

    Once you get into the national security side, the secrecy is even higher.
