“The idea that a smartphone owner alone has control of his or her data is a ‘risk,’ according to Deputy AG Bitkower. That’s not the ‘standard American principle.’ The fact that someone can reach his position while holding such ludicrous views illustrates how far we’ve fallen since 1776. Fortunately, the enemies of freedom are getting nowhere fast. The tech industry is pointing out, correctly, that designing a back door into their systems would invite every hacker on Earth to look for the keys. Someone would find them. Furthermore, the fact that Snowden easily took millions of super-secret documents is prima facie proof that the NSA cannot protect its secrets.”
