Reminder that the FBI used the deaths of 14 people to prop up their agenda of 'make the invoices we receive cheaper'.
They chose this case and not any of the dozens of similar investigations mentioned in articles that have come out since.
It's a disgrace to the victims, their families and friends.
It's also a disgrace to the public, trying to scare us into complacency.

I think this whole thing is every bit as much a trial balloon to see how the public accepts the various arguments. And I think that's still unclear. The polls suggest a scant majority supported the FBI, but not enough to get Congress to change the law make it clear companies can be rolled over by the government. That means there will be a next time.
