Encryption on phones making it 'difficult' to monitor Islamist terrorist activity online.

How tough encryption software used on mobile phones and in apps is making it hard for security agencies to monitor terrorist traffic online.

Tough encryption software used on mobile phones and in apps is creating no-go areas for the police and intelligence agencies trying to monitor terrorist traffic on the web.  Europe's top cop says it is one of the biggest challenges facing law enforcement  bodies investigating terror plots. He says the drive by the tech companies to use stronger encryption has accelerated since IT contractor Edward Snowden revealed that  the intelligence agencies in the US and UK were 'bulk monitoring' the emails of innocent people. Also, is enough being done to help elite athletes make the transition from the international spotlight to ordinary life when their careers end?
