This bill is so stupid I don't think even they expect it to pass. Or at least, I hope that's the reception it gets. EARN IT is still alive somewhere in a dark corner too. What a great time for a bill like this, what with the protests against police and all. There has been some suspicions raised in comment sections on this article and others that Cotton and Graham have no faith in this bill, and are only bringing it to life to show their support for police and pro-police voters.

If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.

It is even worse when you realize that Bernie Sanders could have stopped it and decided not to.

Everyone has things they want to hide: banking details, private conversations, medical information, etc. The cases in which not being able to access encrypted information has seriously hindered an investigation are a lot fewer in number than the FBI claims (they were called out for this lie after an investigation). Take the FBI's beef with Apple as an example. Apple specifically doesn't encrypt iCloud backup information by default in deference to law enforcement concerns. They can and do provide any unencrypted data they have when served a warrant. They can get text and call data straight from the phone company. And to top it all off, they lied to the public about what they wanted.

That was the vote on whether or not to protect browsing history from the FBI in the PATRIOT Act renewal. It was a very close vote, and Sanders just wasn't present. The issue hasn't been decided in Congress yet though so there is still hope.

Good idea.

It'll be easier to hack into Lady G's phone and learn the identities of his favorite male prostitutes.
