Burr-Feinstein may be the most insane thing I've ever seen seriously offered as a piece of legislation. It is "do magic" in legalese.

This idea that *exercising your right to challenge a court order, in court* = "above the law" is profoundly stupid. https://twitter.com/TonyRomm/status/707587959118237697

Every time we sacrifice civil liberties for supposed security, preserving the compromised status quo becomes the new "absolutist" position.

"Warrant-proof" is a funny way of saying "secure." Not everything is all about you, FBI.

FBI wants you to believe it needs Apple to hack an iPhone Just This Once. Here’s why that’s BS. #AppleVsFBI https://www.justsecurity.org/29453/apple-vs-fbi-just-once/

It's amazing how many things "aren't difficult" when you have no idea what you're talking about. https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/703355614966255616

This isn’t even REALLY about crypto. It’s about whether developers can be conscripted to write spyware. https://t.co/0EpgrxUXf7

Occurs to me there’s a nontrivial possibility Apple's public fight with FBI is a proxy for one they can’t talk about.

This is a totally baffling priority set. It's like thinking bear maulings are the most important issue.

No soldier who dies in Iraq is paying "the price of our freedom". They're paying the price of a blunder that does nothing for our freedom.
