Password Please

Since the US House seems to have no problem with NSA building a database of every call detail made, it probably won’t be bothered by this either:

    You MUST remember this when you are on a jury and make sure other jurers are fully aware:

    “If the government is able to determine a person’s password, which is typically stored in encrypted form, the credential could be used to log in to an account to peruse confidential correspondence or even impersonate the user. Obtaining it also would aid in deciphering encrypted devices in situations where passwords are reused. “

      So if I say “it wasn’t me – the government gets passwords to login to people’s accounts and incriminate people”, how does the government prove they didn’t?

      Worth keeping in mind when a friend IMs you. It used to drive me nuts how moms would let their young children be logged on as mom, not recognizing the danger they are creating for men. Fortunately, I don’t do inappropriate things, but I have to think a few mn have had Weiner moments.

    the Police State, aka da Beast, is tightening its grip on the good citizens of America. ObamaCare allows it to have unconstitutional access to our bank accounts, and da Beast openly admits to (unconstitutionally) scarfing up all communications to be stored in a database for later use against us, so why would it stop with the next step in demanding our passwords?

    The question to be asked is, “What unalienable rights of the citizens will da Beast respect?”

      Here are a couple interesting paragraphs from: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/07/chris-christie-rand-paul-2016-election-94789.html

      “In the words of the governor’s favorite lyricist, ‘You know that flag flying over the courthouse, Means certain things are set in stone. Who we are, what we’ll do and what we won’t,’” Stafford added, citing Bruce Springsteen lyrics.

      Paul continued the attacks on Twitter, tweeting from his official Senate account on Friday “Christie worries about the dangers of freedom. I worry about the danger of losing that freedom. Spying without warrants is unconstitutional.”

      Paul’s campaign account took the jabs a step further on Friday, writing Christie’s last name as (Crist)ie, perhaps as a suggestion that the New Jersey governor is a party switcher, like former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist who switched from the Republican to Democratic party in 2012.

      “Chris (Crist)ie thinks freedom is dangerous. Dangerous is borrowing money from China to send to people who burn our flag,” one tweet read.

      “Chris (Crist)ie should hear from more Americans who value both security and privacy,” said another.
