According to testimony delivered before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, intelligence agencies were hampered in their efforts to prevent the 9/11 terrorist attacks partly because of aging computer equipment, especially within the FBI.
"It's mind boggling to me that in the aftermath of September 11th and the information that we've accumulated today, including the use of encrypted channels of communication by terrorists," Freeh told the Commission, "that our law-enforcement agencies still do not have either the authority or the technology to break down encrypted messages."
