> The FBI is 100% wrong that they're going dark; it's really the golden age of surveillance, and the FBI's panic is really just its own lack of technical sophistication. Does it even have to be lack of technical sophistication? No matter how good the FBI is at doing its job it will almost always be better for it to argue in favor of whatever will make its job easier. Exception: If FBI ends up giving everyone the impression that they are truly incompetent then there should be no reason for the public to want tax payer money to fund its continued operation.
