> Comey went so far as to claim that Apple’s new system risks creating an environment in which the United States is “no longer a country governed by the rule of law. That made me laugh. As opposed to a country where several enforcement agencies including cops can spy on masses of people to their heart's content? It wasn't too long ago that cops could get someone's phone and look through it as much as they wanted. It took a battle to the Supreme Court to stop that from happening (hopefully). So I think there's a much higher chance it's them who are violating them law when the devices aren't encrypted, than the other way around. I'm glad at least some journalists are calling out FBI director's BS arguments. Others like Washington Post and NY Times seem more than happy to give him a platform on which he can spread his propaganda to millions. It's a good thing for him that spreading propaganda on US soil isn't illegal anymore, I guess.
