If you mean you think Apple ought to break the security of all their devices for all time so the US government can investigate a dead guy, you probably should have your head examined. |

I have no data/backups etc stored online other than pics. if I had any data I would store it in a password protected truecrypt hidden container within a password protected container. This container would created and placed on a laptop with the wificard and network port connector unsoldered and removed. Any data you really want safe is never hooked directly to a computer with internet access. However since I have nothing to hide, all my cat pics are on a thumbdrive in a folder named theNSAcanlickmyballs.  |

The NSA collects everything, every email, text message and phone call. We are told this helps us catch terrorists. The FBI could have asked the NSA for this information yet they didn’t. Because this was not a US person, they didn’t even need a FISA warrant to do it. Why did they have to ask apple for help?

So -- since OP doesn't know anything about encryption (established) -- can someone who does please explain if this is correct, and if not, why not :
1) .gov assumed Apple had a backdoor, Apple claimed otherwise 2) lacking Apple's assistance, .gov spent a year and eventually hacked the phone. 3) did .gov crack Apple's encryption -or- did they just crack the one phone in question? 4) if we assume the former, now .gov has built themselves a tool that works on potentially any iPhone -- a tool they most likely would not have had otherwise -- |
