  Well, to be honest, when your head is as far up your ass as those proclaiming there is a "going dark" problem have it, I'm sure everything appears to be dark.

  Damn...to bad they didn't have something like strong encryption to protect the data instead of relying on the CFAA to make it illegal to hack them.

  Which is why the FBI really prefers the unsuspecting "terrorists" it creates and controls from inception all the way thru arrest.

  I'm beginning to believe that Biss's name in an acronym for "Boy Is Seriously Stupid"

• On the post: Court Cites George Floyd Killing While Denying Immunity To Officers Who Shot A Black Man 22 Times As He Lay On The Ground

  After being told that state police were coming to investigate, officers can be heard saying that the incident would be a “cluster” and that they were going to “have to gather some f**king story."

  If a normal subjects, I mean citizens, got together to "gather some f**king story" about an incident, you can damn well bet they would be charged with conspiracy and witness tampering.

  Wait...a federal judge actually sided with the Constitution? Quick, somebody quarantine him before he infects other judges! Judges aren't supposed to do their duty, they're supposed to do what they're told by IP maximalists.

• On the post: Hell Hath No Fury Like A Federal Law Enforcement Agency That Keeps Finding Some Way To Break Into IPhones

  Seems like the DOJ and FBI are hell bent on returning to the Hoover era of surveillance, so it's probably past time we have the modern equivalent of the Church Committee. Sen. Wyden seems like a good nomination to chair it.

• On the post: Senate Talking Points Say Warrantless Collection Of Internet Use Data Keeps Terrorists From Killing Us

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 26 May, 2020 @ 01:54pm

  Seems like the only terrorist attacks the FBI prevents are the ones where it spoon feeds some schmuck everything they need.

  Gander meet goose...

  If they feel that credit card companies shouldn't be allowed to process payments for lawful activities, then I guess they wouldn't mind if those same credit card companies stopped processing their donations too.

  Every politician should be given two terms...the first in office and the second in prison.

  I can see a new ad campaign for strong encryption singing "How do you like me now?" as Sen. Burr does the perp walk.

  Even John Steele has to look at Liebowitz and be saying, "Damn...you're an idiot."

• On the post: After Seven Years And A US Supreme Court Victory, Tyson Timbs Is One Step Closer To Finally Getting His Car Back

  Re: If wishes were fishes

  I wish the Supreme Court would say the state can keep the car but the Attorney General's Office must buy Timbs a brand new 2021 Land Rover. Failure of the state to do so will result in AG Hill's vehicle being seized and auctioned under the asset forfeiture laws.

  Norahc ( profile ), 08 May, 2020 @ 10:36am

  I'm sure the government views threatening whistleblowers and journalists as a bonus feature of the EARN-IT Act.
