Bruce Schneier has written yet another spectacularly lucid piece on why the the FBI shouldn’t be able to force technology vendors in the USA to add back-doors to their products.
The current proposal which is probably going to get the backing of the Obama administration, will levy fines of $25,000 per day on technology vendors that don’t add back-doors to their systems to allow government monitoring.
Schneier argues that history has shown that those back-doors are inevitably used by criminals and foreign governments with ill intent and leave people, the vast majority of whom aren’t criminals, less secure and less free.
So obama is an idiot and a fascist. What else is new.

This commenter nails it: “BHO is but a marionette, with the strings being pulled by Jarrett, Axelrod, and McDonough… always has been. Left to himself, he would crumble to the floor in a useless heap of rags and tangles. His awareness of such is a significant contributor (if not the foundation) to his feelings of inadequacy, all displayed through his absurd ego and arrogance.” http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2013/11/06/the-fixer-continues-the-threats-white-house-demands-insurance-companies-explain-why-they-are-sending-cancellation-letters/
