Clinton Hints At Tech Industry Compromise Over Encryption (huffingtonpost.co.uk)
An anonymous reader writes: At the Democratic presidential debate last night, Marques Brownlee asked the candidates a pointed question about whether the government should require tech companies to implement backdoors in their encryption, and how we should balance privacy with security. The responses were not ideal for those who recognize the problems with backdoors. Martin O'Malley said the government should have to get a warrant, but skirted the rest of the issue. Bernie Sanders said government must "have Silicon Valley help us" to discover information transmitted across the internet by ISIS and other terrorist organizations. He thinks we can do that without violating privacy, but didn't say how. But the most interesting comment came from Hillary Clinton. After mentioning that Obama Administration officials had "started the conversation" with tech companies on the encryption issue, one of the moderators noted that the government "got nowhere" with its requests. Clinton replied, "That is not what I've heard. Let me leave it at that." The implications of that small comment are troubling.
Actually, that is not true. Islam claims that the collection writings which Christians call the Old Testament, and Jews call Scripture, is distorted and corrupted. with the current version being incomplete and containing additions. So, the document which Jews and Christians consider to be divine revelation (the exact definition of that term varies), Muslims consider to be something which contains some divine revelation which is indecipherable without the Koran.

It wasn't just "folks like... Rosenberg," the Soviets managed to infiltrate (to a shockingly complete degree) all of the major US nuclear research locations. They were the second largest employers in Los Alamos and every nuclear facility.
History shows that those types of secrets don't wait around for a naughty person to leak them, they get attacked and accessed almost instantly.
