This week on Rational Security, FBI Director James Comey goes to Capitol Hill to talk about “going dark,” and the gang discusses his reception in two Senate committees.

Plus, you can hear the epic saga of the first shipwreck Tamara and I have survived last weekend—a shipwreck whose casualties were our many electronic devices.
