THIS DUMB IDEA IS ROLLED OUT AFTER EVERY TERROR ATTACK, EVEN THOUGH THERE’S NEVER ANY EVIDENCE THAT IT WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE: Senators want to give government access to encrypted communications to combat terrorism.
I don’t trust them, and figure that encryption backdoors are more likely to be used in routine criminal cases, and for spying on political opponents. I wish I trusted our authorities more here, but I don’t.
