FBI Director James Comey warned Wednesday that Americans should not have expectations of “absolute privacy,” adding that he planned to finish his term leading the FBI.
“There is no such thing as absolute privacy in America; there is no place outside of judicial reach,” Comey said at a Boston College conference on cybersecurity. He made the remark as he discussed the rise of encryption since 2013 disclosures by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed sensitive US spy practices. “Even our communications with our spouses, with our clergy members, with our attorneys are not absolutely private in America,” Comey added. “In appropriate circumstances, a judge can compel any one of us to testify in court about those very private communications.”

Streamline the internal and international intelligence gathering and crime solving by placing it under one roof. That way the existing empires will be one and will be talking to one another.
But there WAS privacy for the Clinton Foundation
from the even the FBI, because it was audited
by .... Comey’s brother.
I hope President Trump has something to say about Comeys plan to finish his term.End it early.
bfl
If a "right to privacy" under the U.S. Constitution allows Planned Parenthood to slaughter unborn babies, then surely it allows me to tell a Federal judge -- or an FBI director -- to "F#%& OFF!" in response to a demand for information or my testimony.
Comey, like many of his ilk, deserves to swing from a rope until dead for his crimes against the American people.
Regardless of Comey: the statement is correct.
‘Absolute’ privacy infer two things
1) you have ‘absolute’ control of your environment (communications etc)
2) other people ‘absolutely’ consider your privacy equal to theirs.
Anybody with any training in electronics or communications knows that eventually any encryption can be solved.
And NO communication over any type of network; especially radio or even ‘beam’ communication is 100% ‘private’.
The only way to 100% insure a ‘private’ conversation today, is to meet in person under a ‘cone of silence’ LOL
President Trump, this guy is just begging to be dismissed. Please accommodate him.
its becoming obvious to me why the average phone battery only lasts a day. some so much crap from various agencies running ‘apps’ from cia, fbi, fsb, n koreans, mossad, mi5, chinese and God knows who else...is it any surprise?
no wonder companies are now going 64gb for phone and tablet memory...its to make sure you have space for all the snooping...
the worlds internet traffic would plummet if all these groups stopped sniffing around.
Your term is finished!
I’ve been watching the TV show “Hunted.” The premise is 2 people who have done nothing wrong go on the run with one hour head start. If they make it 28 days without being caught, they win $250,000. The Hunters are all former LEO’s, FBI, Naval Intelligence, etc.
The interesting part, and how it relates, is how quickly the Hunters were tracking cell phones, listening in on calls, getting access to deleted SMS text messages, getting ATM usage alerts, looking at traffic cameras, reading license plates. Perhaps the Hunted signed away heir rights so no warrants were needed, but, as portrayed they had immediate access to all these systems. The Hunted didn’t stand a chance.
In retrospect, I’m no longer convinced one can “drop off the grid.” You can certainly minimize your digital footprint, but I am not convinced you can do a digital vanish any longer.
“FBI Director James Comey warned Wednesday that Americans should not have expectations of “absolute privacy,””
Can we test that on you to be sure?
“There is no such thing as absolute privacy in America; there is no place outside of judicial reach,”

Oh yeah peg boy?
Right now I’ve got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone: “the chair is against the wall, the chair is against the wall”, “john has a long mustache, john has a long mustache”. It’s twelve o’clock, American, another day closer to victory.
M’kay. So an airplane conversation, restaurant conversations, IT staff conversations, etc. are all good to work on, Comey?
...especially with ‘our’ government spying on us every nanosecond!
He sounds like a Nazi.
I think Trump is just waiting for the right moment to fire this POS.
He probably has another guy lined up as we speak.
Wasn’t “right to privacy” cited as the landmark reason (Lawrence v. Texas) to teaching faggotry in public schools?
