Thought you guys might enjoy this one.

TL;DR

Apple and Google are about to adopt new security measures that make it far harder for the government to search phones without the owner's consent.

"The notion that people have devices... that with court orders, based on a showing of probable cause in a case involving kidnapping or child exploitation or terrorism, we could never open that phone? My sense is that we've gone too far when we've gone there," Comey told CBS.

**Ouze**

We did enjoy it, actually.
