California Sen. Dianne Feinstein should know better

McCaul: 'Strong indicators' Paris attackers used encryption - POLITICO

"California Sen. Dianne Feinstein said encryption is the Internet’s 'Achilles’ heel' and brushed aside concerns that Americans’ sensitive information and financial data could be put at risk.

"'I think with a court order, with good justification, all of that can be prevented,' Feinstein said."

Legislating government access to encryption is a suicidally stupid idea. And unnecessary. 

BTW I seriously doubt there is even one person currently campaigning for president (and this includes you, Carly) who has even the slightest idea about how encryption technology works or why it’s so important. Alas.
