Someone please explain to me how crypto backdoors would've helped here? http://www.wsj.com/articles/paris-attacks-plot-was-hatched-in-plain-sight-1448587309 …
@empiricalerror I'm not betting one way or another. As I've already noted, it's clear the metadata dragnet failed, so encryption is moot.

@emptywheel I consider this primarily a HUMINT failure. -
@empiricalerror It was that but I think HUMINT is increasingly relying on dragnet for prioritization. -
@emptywheel If you're talking about US IC: Yes, probably. Regarding French or Belgian intelligence, though, it's not so clear. -
@empiricalerror True. But the claims that we need to do away with encryption would rise from the former.
