I believe I understand your point, but I don't think it is paranoid to consider how such a proposed "kill" switch could be abused.

We live in an era where habeas corpus, Miranda rights, and free speech are all under fire. I've seen nebulously crafted laws abused to erode personal freedoms, and I've seen laws intended to protect freedoms rendered effectively useless through exemptions.

Many laws are acceptable in the right context; the problem is that once the law is there, the government tends to broaden the context.
