If you are not a terrorist then you don't have anything to hide. Now let me watch you shower, because you don't have anything to hide.

I think it is more like asking a construction company to rip holes in everyone's backyards.

Or a key to their back doors.

Indeed, it is like mandating all locks must be able to be unlocked by a master key. The problem of course beeing that when you have such a master key (in this example) anyone that gets to the master key can copy and abuse it. Any backdoors in encryption or other such security measures defeats the entire point of the security.

Its more like asking a locksmith to give the fbi a masterkey that would work on every house, and then promising not to use it for bad, though we know they will
