Why US Feds and g-men kick up a stink about a growing smartphone encryption trend

Americans are lucky!

Because they haven't any corrupt cop that could abuse the system for criminal purposes or for the sake of third parties. In the rest of the world this would probably cause a bloodbath, but not in the good ole USA!.

</sarcasm>

Now, seriously, if cops and FBI want to be able to keep a working witness protection program, they'd better forget about all this surveillance malarkey. And imagine what these tools they're requesting can do in the contexts of industrial espionage, blackmail, kidnappings... if there's a single 'rotten apple' in their staff.

It's has to be either utter stupidity verging on madness, or a plot by the Illuminatti.

Yes, you guessed it, I don't believe in the Illuminatti. :-)
