Rod Rosenstein criticizes tech companies for phone encryption
by Kelly Cohen | Nov 9, 2017, 10:19 AM

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein lamented the inability for federal investigators to get into the cellphones of crime suspects and the failure of technology companies to assist in the effort.

Speaking at a business breakfast in Maryland early Thursday, Rosenstein used the example of the phone of Devin Patrick Kelley, the suspect who opened fire on a congregation in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on Sunday, killing 26 people. The FBI currently has Kelley’s iPhone — he was killed following the shooting — but the phone is locked and investigators are unable to get around the phone’s encryption.

I'm sure Rosenstein ( I can't say that name in my head without thinking of a bad Dracula movie ) would be just fine with allowing open access to just anyone that wanted to peruse his phone and connected files.
