“Lex as much as I enjoy good spirited debate...”

As long as you can ignore the facts and improv them, yes I bet you do. But you have still refused to do anything but throw up a bunch of dust.

Look, you think I’m improving the facts? What do you not understand? The fact that the FBI has bungled this case? The fact that the county should have had MDM on the employees phone like every other competent company chooses to do? The fact that there is no such thing as good enough encryption? The fact that you can’t build a back door method for only one entity?
Technology that I’m sure you love to use, has to be built with the intent of perfect secrecy and to strive for perfect privacy. Either we all have the notion of security or none of us do, including the agents who use these devices for government work and ship secrets back to us.
You don’t purposefully build a weakness into a secure system, and there is no such thing as only certain people have access to the break method.

It’s not dust I’m throwing, I’m trying to warn you of what this means from a global personal security pespective and I don’t believe you posess the ability to understand the importance of protecting the public’s privacy, and that’s likely from my piss poor explanation.

I’m sure you and your lawyer friends will be the first to stand up and sue security companies (Like mine) for not maintaining security best practices. Or God forbid all your bank transactions are intercepted and routed to another’s account... Or someone jumps in the middle of your secure transaction and defrauds you. But Lawyers get it both ways don’t they? They sue for doing too much, they sue for doing too little. All the while laughing all the way to bank.

Perhaps we should all just forego encryption, that way we can protect the children and catch those pesky terrorists... Because we know they will follow the law they wouldn’t dare use encryption! You see if we purposefully make weak systems the only people who are hurt are the law abiding folks whose information is now exposed, and exploited.
