in october of 20 1, in a declassified fisa court decision, we learned that tens of thousands of wholly domestic communications which are not even allowed to be collected under 702 have been collected. we need to make sure that when you look for an american in that database, you get a warrant as the fourth amendment requires. the second door to be shut prohibits the government from cannersing companies into weakening security protections by creating back doors in products to make surveillance easier. what's encryption? it's sophisticated computer code that is the most powerful tool we have for preventing outsiders from gaining entry into digital systems. encryption protects the power grid. the air traffic control system. and your smart phone. even if a weakness in encryption is promoted and created with good intentions, it's only a matter of time until a hacker finds and exploits it.
