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.

Talk and talk and talk. Keep talking until you've scared the American people enough to stand by and watch their rights get taken away. Show us "evidence" that we don't care about anyway.

Don't forget the talk and talk corollary: We vote democratically about issues... that is again and again until finally the correct vote is cast. After that, when the New Enabling Act has been chosen there will never again be need to vote.
