The FBI is literally b-tching, maoning, and groaning about fundamental mathematics and computation. You can't ban such things.

It's absurd to think that every secure device or file on the planet must have some kind of "backdoor" mandadted to be placed in it just so Government can effortlessly snoop out everyone's secrets whenever they decide they have the need.

The fact is Government can't control such things, and any government which could would be utterly totalitarian. Technology has reached the point where it's hard to decrypt things, and that's that...

Yep. They want to close Pandora’s box...too late. Consider the billions spent on security research and products to secure these devices, then the government REQUIRES a means of getting around it all. Nobody can argue that ONLY the government would be able to exploit such mechanisms.

It’ll never happen. If people can’t trust the security of these devices then the whole thing implodes. While security will never be 100%, that’s very different than deliberately compromising it.
