'Just follow the damn Constitution!' FBI, DoJ skewered over demands for crypto backdoors

Mark 85

Now if those same two had a say in the so-called USA Freedom Act... which isn't "freedom". There's some others in Congress who have some knowledge or at least have friends they can call for advice on things like this and they often do. Sadly, the lobbyists and LEO's usually win since logic an reason don't matter when there's power to be grabbed.

I hope this won't come up again, but I suspect there's a willing Congress Critter who will attach a rider that mandates what the FBI, etc. want. Impossible it maybe, they'll still mandate it.
