Edit:

More seriously, this is exactly the sort of behavior we've kinda come to expect from the state apparatus--especially the bold lies about both surveillance capability and the exact threat posed by the these theoretical terrorists.

At the very least, it seems that the folks they're complaining about are content to stay in the region and butcher their own population areas.

None of this here, please.

If ISIS were at least semi competent I could possibly be worried.
This article is horribly written. This isn't about "preventing law enforcement from accessing encryption" it's about not building back doors or using weak encryption that would potentially (or, more accurately, inevitably) allow anyone in.

Hearing this kind of nonsense doesn't make me feel less safe because I'm worried about ISIL, it makes me feel less safe because the organization that's supposed to be protecting us is apparently run by an idiot.

When we develop neural interfaces, the government will demand backdoors into our brains. They "don't understand" that they are more dangerous than the criminals they claim to protect us from. Keeping the government out is a feature, not a bug.
