I think the IETF must substantiate its position against wiretapping by

test-bed for our ability at providing such alternative means.
The IETF does not have a an official position "against" wiretapping. We
have RFC 2804 which is an IAB statement on it being out of scope for the
creation and maintenance of IETF standards.
The responsibility for the requirements is necessarily in the hands of
state actors whether we're in the US, Europe, China or Iran.
