He then goes on to denounce encrypted hard drives that the government doesn't have the power to unlock:



"The notion that we would market devices that would allow someone to place themselves beyond the law, troubles me a lot," Comey said. "As a country, I don’t know why we would want to put people beyond the law.

"That is, sell cars with trunks that couldn’t ever be opened by law enforcement with a court order, or sell an apartment that could never be entered even by law enforcement," he continued. "Would you want to live in that neighborhood? This is a similar concern.

"The notion that people have devices, again, that with court orders — based on a showing of probable cause in a case involving kidnapping or child exploitation or terrorism — we could never open that phone?" Comey asked. "My sense is that we’ve gone too far when we've gone there."

Yea, sort of a like an individual's private thoughts, memories, and beliefs, eh?


"That is, sell mind reading devices to law enforcement that would forgo the necessity of a court order and render due process all together fruitless, or sell a facial scanners to law enforcement that entirely voids the concept of self-incrimination," he continued. "Would you want to live in that neighborhood? This is a similar concern.

Bless the power of encryption and curse anyone who isn't behind protecting your data from prying eyes.

The new FBI director was covered on 60 Minutes last night. For a statist, he seemed to have his head screwed on about as well as we could hope for.
