Senator Tries Drafting Bill to Criminalize Apple’s Refusal to Aid Decryption - McAfee Does

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...criminalize-apples-refusal-to-aid-decryption/

Update (2/18/16, 12p CT): One day after floating the possibility of a bill criminalizing the act of refusing to aid federal decryption efforts, Sen. Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) has now backed off that position. "Chairman Burr is not considering criminal penalties in his draft encryption proposals," his spokeswoman, Rebecca Watkins, told Ars in an e-mail on Friday. Our original story appears unedited below.

Sen. Richard Burr (R-North Carolina), the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, reportedly will introduce legislation soon to criminalize a company’s refusal to aid decryption efforts as part of a governmental investigation. The news was first reported Thursday afternoon by the Wall Street Journal.

Burr’s office did not immediately respond to Ars’ request for comment.

Burr published an op-ed in USA Today earlier today saying that Apple has “wrongly chosen to prioritize its business model above compliance with a lawfully issued court order.”

Full article on link, and yes, he has since backed off.

Burr is the one that has "wrongly chosen" compromising the security and privacy of all citizens as a way to "prioritize his violence model" by threatening the application of another form of violence.

John McAfee Offers To Decrypt San Bernardino iPhone For the FBI and Save America
http://it.slashdot.org/story/16/02/...ernardino-iphone-for-the-fbi-and-save-america

Wondering what John McAfee is up to these days? It's not sniffing bath salts nor is he fleeing foreign countries as a person of interest in a murder investigation and faking heart attacks (been there, done all that) ; instead, he's on a mission to save America. How so? By cracking the code on the San Bernardino iPhone that's causing such a ruckus. McAfee didn't just criticize the FBI; instead he offered a potential solution. Let him and his team of hackers break into the iPhone without any help from Apple. "With all due respect to Tim Cook and Apple, I work with a team of the best hackers on the planet. These hackers attend Defcon in Las Vegas, and they are legends in their local hacking groups, such as HackMiami. They are all prodigies, with talents that defy normal human comprehension," McAfee said. Eccentric rant aside, McAfee's offer is simple - give him three weeks and he will, "free of charge, decrypt the information on the San Bernardino phone" with his team of hackers. He'll do it using mostly social engineering.

Yeah, good job, dipshit. You know damn good and well that the FedGov will NOT just use it to decrypt one singular phone, but EVERY IPHONE OUT THERE. And fucking Boobus supports trying to make Apple cave, 75%, but I dont have a link for that stat...

Everyone who is outraged by this clear tyrant hop your way to Greg Brannon's website and donate to his campaign. He is neck and neck with Richard Burr and can win if enough Liberty minded people get behind him. He will be another Rand Paul in the senate.

as I understand McAffee the methods he intends to use would only be applicable to the individuals in question or the individual phone in question ; he's looking to data mine that person's life for common pin numbers; and or reverse engineer his way into that one phone. It would in now related to a technical crack of the underlying OS or "firmware update and brute" method as .gov is asking for.

Oh, in that case, its easy. Its his lover-goats pet birthday!

If the single phone can be hacked without comprising the privacy of every IPhone user out there, I wouldnt have a problem with it, however, I think we all know they want backdoors into everything. Backdoors into everything seems to be the real goal here, yet, they think not about their long term consequences. Should the FedGov get what it wants, unlimited backdoors into everything, other countries will look down on any US Tech so badly they would probably prefer to by stuff made in North Korea.

touring Kentucky.

Why are they bringing this up now? It's been a while since that false flag. Liberty stripping theatrics.
