The FBI's director says the agency is collecting data that he will present next year in hopes of sparking a national conversation about law enforcement's increasing inability to access encrypted electronic devices.
Speaking on Friday at the American Bar Association conference in San Francisco, James Comey says the agency was unable to access 650 of 5,000 electronic devices investigators attempted to search over the last 10 months.
Comey says encryption technology makes it impossible in a growing number of cases to search electronic devices. He says it's up to U.S. citizens to decide whether to modify the technology.

No.
There, that was an easy decision.
I'll tell you what: if you feel unsafe, you modify your technology, okay? The main danger to me is the people who want to be able to snoop on anything I do.
Exactly. Comey, the FBI and the various LE agencies are by far the greater threat to our our liberty and security than any other terrorist group I know of.
