Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) is vowing to lead the charge on legislation that would require companies to decrypt data under court order.

“I’m going to seek legislation if nobody else is,” she said during an FBI oversight hearing Wednesday

5. technology impaired

It's been obvious for a long time now that politicians are technology impaired, but jeez, you would think she would keep at least one nerd on her staff to explain that terrorists probably prefer not to use commercial encryption methods.
