It reminds me of a joke about a quarterback, a gymnast, and an economist who were stranded on a desert island. Searching for food, they found a coconut tree. The gymnast tried to climb the tree to get to the coconuts, but the trunk was too smooth and slick to get a grip. The quarterback slammed into the tree trying to shake the coconuts loose, but that didn't work either. The economist looked thoughtful and said, "Assume that we have a ladder...".
Sounds like a new business opportunity...set up a kiosk in the airport to allow travelers to rent laptops during their stay...
DHS officials said the agency is broadly pushing airlines and airports to "take the next step" in beefing up security — meaning using more canine teams, adopting more advanced screening technology and enrolling in a Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance inspection program.

Ideally, Murray would find himself forced to take the stand and humiliated as badly as Henry Ford when he sued the Chicago Tribune for calling him "ignorant". They got him on the stand, asked him a bunch of grade-school questions, and established on the record that he was indeed an ignoramus.
"they could argue that they were appointed in “good faith” — that is, they believed Trump was not compromised at the time of their appointments"
In that case, they should be disqualified under the "you should not be out in public without a keeper to wipe up the trail of drool you leave wherever you go" doctrine.
It is only because of the Charging Bull that the young girl statue can be considered "impossible to ignore."

Law enforcement wants a process useful for mass invocation (via warrant or even on bulk communication).
The "via warrant" option doesn't apply as a rationale for a backdoor. If law enforcement wants a process useful for a limtied number of specific cases, they already have it (judicially authorized planting of hardware or software bugs). The only reason to want a backdoor is to routinely snoop on bulk communication.
I hear that James Comey was once in the same position, and kept banging his head against the tree and screaming for somebody to repeal the law of gravity until the men in white coats showed up to rescue him.
Actually, he *is* a bit stupid if he's unaware of the fact that in addition to losing all credibility with sensible people, he's lost all credibility with the politicians he needs to convince. So, Jimmy, who do you want to lobby first: the ones who hate your guts for screaming "E-Mail-Ghazi!" on the eve of the election, or the ones who hate your guts for telling everybody "The Trump Kremlin Connection is real and the Trump Tower Wiretap isn't"?
