Push against encryption unconstitutional
Two plus two equals five. Big Brother is watching you. Sound familiar? None of us would ever imagine that we would be followed by thought police, screamed at by television screens or eating saccharine tablets like in the book "1984".

The FBI idea requires all data scrambling technology to be equipped with a "spare key" for law enforcement agencies.
