Said it to congress, NO punishment. NOTHING. Why do we even HAVE a congress?

To pass the buck, and to give the appearance of legitimacy to treason.

Yep, there is a legitimate mass market need for encryption so people and businesses can utilize the internet more fully.
Unfortunately the most profitable way for manufacturers to satisfy that market is with the cheapest encryption- that will destroy the Fourth and Fifth amendments.
All that stands in their way are some politicians who depend on them for donations.

So it can’t be too much of a problem, or we wouldn’t be letting in two million dune coons since 9/11, right? What kind of jackass would be cool with letting them flood right in then blaming it on encryption and Snowden?

“Why is it good for him? He’s a prisoner of a dictator?”

I was not aware that he came back to the USA.

“That slight of hand means Clapper CAN go up speak in “NSA-ese” to Congress, and have confidence that the meaning that pops up in the mind of the American public and their elected representative inquisitors is very different from that in his own.”

He intentionally deceived, that is a lie.

How many years was Snowden an employee of NSA?

If some Saudi is implicated in 9/11 then the American Public needs to know about it, because Saudi Arabia is the enemy.
Mr. Trump, when you become President, please impose a 10,000% tariff on any oil coming from the Middle East.
We have enough oil of our own, we don’t need to support people who would kill us.
Drill, Baby, drill.

Clapper hax shown his own self to an 0bama idiot. Dealing with Islam does not require decryption if done well.

Snowden was a contractor employee, not directly employed by NSA.

“NO punishment. NOTHING. Why do we even HAVE a congress?”

Lois Lerner. Eric Holder. James Clapper. Bill Ayers. The Clintons and the rest of the Dem scofflaws—there’s plenty more—all running around loose.
It’s the same principle as a banana republic after a revolution: the old jug-rammer is allowed to board a plane with his swag, because some day the new Maximum Leader may need the same professional courtesy.
Donald Trump is throwing a wrench into that protocol.

What the government approach says is that we’re all suspects, all the time. This is “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime” territory.

this is propaganda.

the truth is,
if 2 people can securely exchange keys,
it is easy to have unbreakable encryption.

what that is not secure,
is stuff like,
snapchat, instagram ICQ, Skype, etc
and anything smartphone related.
(not sure about PGP and ToR)

separate encryption is needed.

I don’t know who I trust less - James Clapper and Muslim Convert John Brennan

Yeah - Its Clapper and Brennan, and their big-eared, blue-lipped boss.

We have a Congress to perpetuate the illusion of that the post-coup United States federal government has legitimacy.

>> to have unbreakable encryption

I can think of only one method that more than doubles the vulnerability of securing an asymmetric private key.

Gene eric...

I don’t quite understand what you mean,
perhaps you could add a little more to
what you wrote.

.............unbreakable...
a 512 bit block cipher
(old fashion secret-key, held by both parties)
would be computationally infeasible
to break.

Do you think the British capture and parse all US calls and we do the same for them, then we trade the intelligence as a way to get around the letter of the law, or do you think the US just captures all communications from US citizens?
