What's your opinion of the "Patriot" Act?

... but then race hustlers, and malcontent failures would have to look harder for someone to blame for their lack of achievement.

Let's extend that analogy outside the digital world.


Bob the Bombmaker is arrested after blowing up Giant Steps Nursery School.  In the course of the investigation, the feds learn that Bob's employer, Acme Blasting, has rented him a safe deposit box at a local bank.  The feds go to the local district court and obtain a search warrant for the box, and also the consent of Acme Blasting.  Bob, however, is unwilling to give up his key, which he has of course hidden in such a way as it is not retrievable.


Are you saying the feds can't demand that the bank permit them to break into the box without a key or hire a locksmith, because they would have to expend resources (compensated by the feds) to get into that box?


I think that as soon as you move this to a non-digital world, the silliness of Apple's position becomes apparent.

Bold added.
Good point.  As one who drives through west Texas it becomes very obvious, very quickly, that if one has an emergency said person best be well equipped to handle it alone.  There are literally 100's of contiguous miles of nothing but barren land and livestock.

I find it amazing that stupid is so attractive to democrats these days.

Maybe the barking dog will be a better president, so destroy everybody else and make the run safe for cankles, and the world is saved.
