Yes!

If they are bitching and moaning about it, it’s usefulness for it’s stated purpose(s) has likely already been compromised.

A tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. (Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5)

This is precisely what we have here.

Don’t believe it for a second.

CA....

Allows people to be beyond the law? Let’s ponder that statement.

When the law has been subverted and twisted so as to endanger the populace, then there is a valid need for the people to be beyond the reach of the keepers of the law.

That day has come. We need more people to be beyond the likes of those who craft laws to enslave and intimidate the people. Our forefathers fought tyrants over 200 years ago. And the need has come again for the people to fight tyrants within our own government today. Privacy is very much needed in order to fight tyrants, and we should use it to take down the tyrants.

I suppose the following words allow us plebians to live "out of the reach of the law" as well:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Do you mean the Obama Regime is about over or >we’re< about over?

That's a tough question to answer.

When do they come down on Microsoft for making software that allows people to delete their email?

Who knows. Do you think you can buy hard drives from them that are COD? (crash on demand)

It’s really even worse than 1984, because now people actually purchase the equipment that spies on them with their own money.

“This is what the FBI, Apple and Google want us to think.”

Oh anything but that briar patch - don’t throw us in there. If you throw us into that terrible Googlemail briar patch, we won’t be able to read anything, and folks will start talking about all the bad things again, that they talked about before Snowden...

It’s official - we are all being considered as criminals prior to any evidence to the contrary.

I’m thinking once they begin, oh and you can expect IT WILL happen, then you will see the flood gates wide open.

Scavengers will feed on their own, right?

so glad all this crap is almost over.

I'm a little unclear why you think it might be almost over. Have you seen any spokesmen for the GOPe come out and way that once Zero is out of the way, that they'll start dismantling the survellance state? Did Either Bush get rid of the FISA courts?

Making this a partisan thing just plays into Fedgov's hands by pitting "us" against "them", when it's actually the government against all of us. On this issue, perhaps we can get both the left and the right to rally against the survellance state.

This FBI argument reeks of solid kinship with the government's desire to ban citizens from owning body armor.

The only government that wants to degrade the safety of its citizens is a despotic one.

Thanks.

Most of the people here think Comey must be some Obama crony.

Also, didn’t the Bushies go after Trak Phones for the same reason?

But, it’s comforting to pretend it’s Obama’s fault.

I forget the issue now. I think it was simply, you could buy one, start calling, and no one knew who you were. And something about Middle-Eastern looking guys buying them in bulk.
