DC residents get visits from FBI as they track cell phones that pinged near Capitol

Thing is, we really do have a "Deep State" now which can get going when inspired; get used to it.

Had a cellphone in vicinity of the #Capitol events #Jan6? Get a friendly visit from the @FBI.

Just another part of a complete investigative buffet that surely includes geofence warrants to platforms, etc.

The mass of information surfaced from the #Capitol is a public education in how far we are from the "bad guys are going dark" narrative that is usually hung on national security events.

Not that this will save us from going through another round of the encryption debate...

I bring you the inestimable @KimZetter, always thinking a few plays ahead. Which is why you should buy her recent book: COUNTDOWN TO ZERO DAY https://t.co/PHkmqlaMy7

Thinking "whew yes! great!" ?

Pause. Now, think of this technology in the hands of an administration that you are less inclined to trust... or that is less inclined to trust you.

This is why oversight and accountability will always be important.
