• On the post: Hillary Clinton Continues To Say Ridiculous Things About Encryption… Without Ever Taking A Real Position

  Clinton said, “That is not what I've heard. Let me leave it at that.”
  
  Hmm... Clinton shouldn't have heard anything other than what the public heard. She doesn't currently hold a public office that would give her a reason to have heard anything you or I can't. Sounds like someone may be leaking information. Obama should force her to give up her source so he can persecute, I mean prosecute, the leaker.

  You've got it all wrong. These dogs aren't trained to find concealed humans by smell, they're trained to have x-ray vision.

  Here's my suggested punishment:
  
  No more copyrights for anyone ever. All the existing copyrights: null and void retroactive to the beginning of time. If it exists it's public domain.
  
  Disney (and all the other fear mongers) can feel free to shout about the end of creativity and how they're going to shut down and go out of business. If that actually happens, they will be replaced.
  
  Copyright is not being used for its legitimate purpose, so let's get rid of it and see what happens. It really can't be worse that what we currently have.

  Our leaders want the experts from the technology community to come together and devise a way to allow law enforcement access to encrypted communications when they have a warrant because terrorism (never mind that it is impossible to do that).
  
  I have a better idea: I want the experts from our intelligence community to come together and devise a way to find and combat terrorism that doesn't undermine our security in a big way (or any way).

• On the post: Final Text Of CISA Apparently Removed What Little Privacy Protections Had Been In There

  CISA, mandatory data retention, McConnell banning encryption...
  
  With leaders like these, who needs terrorists?
