#How #FBI #NSA create problems they claim to be fighting:

1) Backdoor 4 #Wray (#FBI) :

When CALEA was adopted in 1994, it required, #telecom providers to design their systems to comply with #wiretapping requests from #law #enforcement. In 2006, the FCC expanded this mandate to cover #broadband #internet #providers.

2) #cheaper:

The law also required all of these covered providers to #secure their networks — but that point hasn't been enforced.
