Yes it's FBI director's false dilema

Comments on David Glance "FBI Director Comey’s false dilemma: “ban encryption or accept terrorism”"

It may also reasonably be assumed that Comey only wants, in private, the ban to be applied to other state governments as opposed to its own, as the information contained in what Snowden has showed, such as the taping of other countries' leaders and allies' included.

It utterly hypocritical of some of the world's most power country's apparatus and officials. The US has lost totally its credibility in its advocate of the security approach and probably few others will believe it anymore.
