Feinstein with the help of Dick Burr is at it again trying to build up the security state at the expense of avg citizens. When this pile of shit legislation hits the floor make sure to let your congress critter know to not vote for it.

Should have figured that trash Feinstein would be involved in something like this. She's pretty much the worst of both worlds (left and right) wrapped into one hideous package.

What a heap of dung bill.

I think it was Jon Stewart who explained government perfectly. The average age of a politician is about 93 years old, so it's like your grandparents are voting on computer and internet laws. They have no clue what they are voting for or against.

The more cynical side of me thinks it's a huge conspiracy to destroy America. I refuse to believe humans are this stupid. They want to ban anything that is encrypted? That immediately stops all banking transactions. I'm sure they're aware of this. They don't honestly think their banking information is sent unencrypted, do they?

I wish California would retire her. Apparently, any abridgement of our rights, is nothing compared to the protection of Israel.
