Probably should let him put cameras in every room of our homes. We’d all be safer then.
FBI Director Wray calls inability to access Republican electronic devices an urgent public safety issue.
Fixed.
I am absolutely opposed to Law Enforcement access to smart phones without a Warrant.
How many are non-citizens?
Somehow govt got by without electronic devices before without public safety issues.
Don’t phone companies still keep records of phonecalls? Why do they need access to phones themselves?

20 years ago I “Trusted” the FBI and would have supported them getting the ability to access cell phones and defeat passwords.
Now I don’t trust em!
Send a few FBI agents to prison !!! Then we’ll talk.
The FBI is pretty much worse than worthless.
Court Order = FISA Court = Wink and a Nod.
Inability to read our minds is a pretty serious problem also.
On Coast to Coast AM last night, a guest predicted that the US public would get fed up with insecure American (branded) electronics and China seeing a commercial opportunity would develop them, circumventing our domestic snoops. I find that prediction highly plausible.
Guess some guys at the FBI are having trouble breaking into their ex-wives phones and things like that.
The government has gone out of their way to earn distrust. The government does more evil than good. For every true criminal case where they need access, in my humble opinion, there are likely dozens of situations where the government is illegally accessing information for Rat partisan purposes and personal illegal reasons.
Fixed it.
Handsets have such a quick development cycle that they can’t insert their own secret sauce.
I’m betting that the Intel “flaw” was deliberate, and someone spilled the beans so they are pretending it was an “error”.
I don’t think the FBI can be trusted to investigate crime or terrorism, and they certainly cannot be trusted to protect Americans or America from harm from any source.
Perhaps if the FBI spent some time prosecuting the criminals in their midst, they would be taken a little more seriously, but until then, the answer is “no”.
It would immediately be used to blackmail right of center politicians and to subvert a lot more than just the 4th Amendment.
Wray, if he’s honest, and that cannot include any FBI agent at this point in time, would focus on dismantling this farce and figuring out how to actually get someone to take over the mission of protecting the USA from terrorism that the FBI ignored in favor of framing a republican presidential candidate.
Cook is right.
What an ass. Who the hell told them the government should have a right to possess every bit and bye of information in America?
Fascist A-hole.
And what good would it do? They knew the San Berdoo shooter woman was a jihadi when she applied to come into the country.
They knew about the Boston Bombers.
They knew about Major Hassan.
They knew about the pulse nightclub shooter.
Their problem isn’t too little information.
Sorry, FIB, I don’t trust you at all, and never will again.
Choices, consequences.
TigersEye call the inability to trust the FBI a much bigger urgent public safety issue.
Law enforcement are given a special trust. When they just wink and start playing politics, it puts us all in danger.
No matter how many laws, or constitutional amendments are made to protect us against their human frailties, they still persist.
I'm starting think there should be a stiffer penalty for misusing the authority granted to them by the people.
Golden parachutes don't seem to scare them.
