MODERATORS
I wouldn't criticise the metaphor. I would ask why they ask this again and again. What has changed in the previous decade which justify that they don't change what they request.
I wouldn't criticise the analogy because it's easy to miss things. For example, the issue I have when their analogy is that because they can't open the door of one house with a search warrant, they ask for the right to open all the doors, of all the city, anywhen, and this right may be abused. Of course this is far less acceptable so.
