Hey John. Maybe they don’t want Hillary selling it to the enemies like she did her password to her server.
“why their encryption systems on newer smartphones are not accessible to law enforcement operating under court orders.”
Because they work.
If they were accessible to law enforcement that would mean they aren’t encryption systems.

How long must one live in Arizona in order to vote? I would consider moving there if the time was short. That way I could vote against McCain.
“We must establish the overarching goal before enacting laws,” he said.
So you can compel a manufacturer to design and inferior product...
Apparently, Juan McLame learned to sympathize with jackbooted thugs during his time as a POW.
I wish that worthless POS would retire or be voted out from the Senate.
How the Hell did we ever nominate Mclame.The man is a born loser and lib to his core
Trying to encourage criminals (and others) to avoid buying Apple phones or Android phones without foreign modification. Plenty of foreign companies will gladly sell Android phones with security modifications that McCain doesn’t like.
So then he’ll want to ban those foreign phones in the US. And foreign businesses with employees needing to use the phone for trade secrets will close US offices or relocate those employees.
He’s trying to do things that will damage US businesses in order to stop bad guys who will get around his efforts in any case. That’s the kind of short-sightedness you usually see in Ds. Then again McCain often looks like a D.
She didn't have to sell it. She never changed it from "password".
Yes anti-Fourth Amendment encryption will have to be banned.
However secure encryption that can be accessed by warrant is quite doable and affordable.
Won’t be as cheap and easy, but needn’t cost much more.
> However secure encryption that can be accessed by warrant is quite doable and affordable.
It’s doable and affordable. It’s also easy and cheap to build systems that cannot be accessed by the authorities. The really bad guys will go for those systems. Your neighborhood child-porn guy probably won’t get the inaccessible systems. But the large porn ring, and ISIS, and drug cartels will. As will foreign businesses that don’t trust the US government and think they will help US businesses (just like their government would them).
Protecting privacy means closing out government busybodies.
Yes again. How sure can they be that ‘back alley’ encryption is secure? LOL! it could be a scam by the authorities or by the author.
I think the US versions will be the ‘best’. The Fourth Amendment standard is superior to others IMO.
Other nations may have encryption standards that are equal- however NO nation wants encryption that debilitates it’s justice system (some may provide it only for foreign use).
Criminals will do criminal things for criminal reasons whatever the law. The important thing is to provide a satisfactory legal product for general consumers.
Hey Swordmaker. I watched a car go up in flames yesterday because the owner had their Iphone plugged into the dash and was charging and using at the same time.
The whole front passenger area is a mess with the passenger seat gone. That is where the phone was sitting. And of course, the phone was a big blob of melted plastic and metal.
No one was hurt, thank God.
McCain’s time in the Senate is just about over.
His grand plan of having Cindy McCain replace him will fail too.
The great security leak which passes GOP secrets directly to Harry Reid will be closed.
👍
“finding a solution to the matter of protecting privacy while also not closing out police, prosecutors and intelligence agencies from lawfully pursuing criminals and terrorists.”
So encryption, that the manufacturer and the cops can get into easily? Mutually exclusive.
Furthermore, I do not care a whit. You cannot tell me that we really are in danger, while you are actively letting the danger IN.
Interesting. How do you know that was the cause? For extra credit tell us exactly where this happened so it can be confirmed.
I call BS.
