   I think this mainly confirms what I already know/suspected.  Long ago, I heard   
   that the government got cell phone service companies to provide the government   
   a back door into their encrypted connections so that the government could   
   listen in to peoples' cell phone conversations.  So I suppose Jeb Bush's   
   comment comes as no surprise, except perhaps that Jeb Bush revealed that they   
   actually are doing this.
