This issue brings up a larger point that many in the tech world have ignored for awhile. Now that end to end encryption is easily accessible by everyone, how do the authorities figure out beforehand when a terrorist attack will take place?  The answer is not banning encryption technologies or giving authorities a &#x27;key&#x27; as the FBI director has proposed. But now authorities have a very difficult problem on their hands. Encryption can&#x27;t be contained, and the authorities need to figure out how to still catch the bad guys.
