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.
