A coalition of dozens of the largest tech companies in the world is adamantly opposing any form of an official "backdoor" into encrypted devices.
The Information Technology Industry Council is a group of more than 60 major tech companies and organizations, including Google, Apple, Microsoft, Intel and Facebook.
"We deeply appreciate law enforcement's and the national security community's work to protect us," the council said in a statement issued Thursday, "but weakening encryption or creating backdoors to encrypted devices and data for use by the good guys would actually create vulnerabilities to be exploited by the bad guys, which would almost certainly cause serious physical and financial harm across our society and our economy."

Son, you are just too young to remember what wartime mobilization is. I suggest you go as your grandpa.
You've never seen it, because you think just because we are fighting a war we are mobilized for war, focusing the nation's resources on that war.
In short life goes on as normal back home while wars are fought with smart bombs and stand-off missiles, and drones, and the world's most invincible tanks.
You should probably take some time to learn reading comprehension while you are talking to your elders about what a real war is.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
