With this stance, I think any system the FBI purchases or builds themselves needs to have a key escrow system that the american people can use at will whenever they feel the FBI is up to know good.

FBI has a nickname of Feebs, a play on the word feeble. I wonder why.

Not really. It was a coding error. So while not good, it is not intentional, and is repaired and instructions on how to ensure even backup copies are removed..

Also, it is not something that has been around forever. The bug was only there from version 17.4.
