Mike Lee (R-Utah), who often finds himself at odds with his Republican colleagues on surveillance and privacy issues. > As the hearing concluded, Lee lamented seeing the conversation “descend into a contest over who loves children and who acts with reckless disregard for them.” > You can always tell that a conversation is “descending into a bad area” when people invoke extremes, Lee said. > Referring to cryptographic protections, he warned, “If we open these things up, there are consequences.” Feeling frustrated with the state of the world today.
