It is a convenient political football, nothing more.

If there is an “official” back door into every device, it will be buried deep in the OS; more probably  inside the carriers. Why work so hard when a few dedicated cable lines, with compiled digests of data, can can do it all. Our decision to communicate electronically was probably the best news the NSA ever received.

Since the signing of the telecommunication act of 1996, all electronics was mandated to be made with back doors so they could be tracked and remotely controlled.

Google already admitted to controlling peoples webcams.

Franken is one of the few to stand up and say that invasion of privacy is wrong.  Big brother has gone way beyond the boundaries of protection.  This constitutes abuse.  And the people who are collecting the data are the architects of abuse.
