This article in the New York Times gives a hint as to what the FBI is asking... another case of the government wanting our freedom and using fear as an excuse.  They are planning to push a bill through Congress next year when with a Republican majority in the House, it will probably pass. Most civil liberties groups oppose it because of the potential abuse by hackers and regimes that will crack down on dissidents. Oh, well... 1984 is going to become a reality series....watch for it, because your government will be watching you.
