As for that last question -- well, yes. Better that some guilty might go free than that all should lose their liberty.

F the Feds.

They can’t spy on Americans? Too effing bad.

At this point, they have become the enemy.

Does the FBI regulate safes to be sure they can be cracked?

The FBI despises freedom.

a guy who has just burned down a church full of people walks up to you and asks for your help.

do you trust this guy...?

I think Republicans and Democrats can both agree on this one.

There’s no reason for personal data to not remain private and secure.

I love how they continually downplay how they still can easily acquire your call lists, your texts and your emails.

In what universe is that NOT ENOUGH? That’s already too much to be easily available. But the full contents of anyone’s device at any time? Get real!

There are a lot of members of the Obama Administration who are competing to win the socialists’ prized Martin Bormann Wannabee Award - aka Government by Brute [Legal] Force “Achievement.”

Here's an idea: If James Comey wants the ability to plumb our private data...

Let's have his passwords, every single one.

And his wife's and his kid's.

His friends, and his parent's info.

Because that's what he's asking of us.

And he can just trust us that nothing bad will happen.

Hey, Comey....get a warrant.

Is that above the pay grade of your agents?

There will be no bad guys walking away...without being able to violate the rights of cell phone users, the FBI might have to undertake the serious work of police work to catch the criminals...

Obama’s FBI directory is an idiot for expecting everyone to make his potentially unlawful activity easy.

If it were suppose to be easy there would be no such thing as a 5th amendment. But even given that all them meaningfull Federal Constitutional restrictions have been effectively thrown out by the hand picked Federal employees in black robes its still not rational to expect you can prohibit companies or people from trying to protect their data.

The technical Gene is out of the bottle, no law is ever going to put it back, you just going to have to learn to deal with it.

"It's time that the post-Snowden pendulum be seen as having swung too far in one direction," Comey said. "Have we become so suspicious of government, and of law enforcement, that we will let bad guys walk away?"

Tally another "yes" vote here.

It is a dark place when citizens have no method for private communications. The government must be rolled back. There is no trust of them any more. They have overstepped their bounds and have no remorse what so ever. In fact, they want unfettered access to all facets of everybody’s life, legal or not. Dark place indeed.
