Sound bite time

Neither of those is aimed at Joe Average Citizen.

The first isn't any good, because most people don't see any need to
protect against a tyranny.

The second is no good because although people might be afraid of

all the time.

I'd be for something applicable and simple like

"Giving the government keys to your encrypted messages is like giving
them keys to the front door of your house."

People can relate to that.
