Why was an earlier version of this thread pulled?
Trump says Apple should open it for the FBI.
This was all to protect the phone data of ONE of the Fraud’s terrorist buddies. Betting they anticipated the huge pushback to EVERYONE, which makes everyone forget about the ONE PHONE in question, to still protect the Fraud’s BFF terrorists.
I bet if it was some politically incorrect group suspected of a crime and it turned out a suspect used an i-Phone and it might have clues, Apple would be eager to help.
Courageous decision. I’m grateful.
It seems like there should be some middle ground that would be acceptable. For instance, if the FBI were to supply the phone to Apple, then Apple could return the decrypted content of that phone to the FBI. I doubt that anyone would defend the privacy of the terrorists.
It’s not Apple’s phone. It belongs to a dead mussie. I don’t think the 4th. would apply. It would be up to the phone’s owner through their lawyer to refuse.
You know, if I thought the intent of Homeland Security was to protect us, I wouldn’t have an issue here.
However, they refused to look into the Tsarnaev brothers when the Russians were screaming at us to do so. The San Bernadino killers were posting radical Islam intent in plain view on Facebook.
The fact is Homeland Security was too busy looking at Tea Party members and Obama’s enemies to actually protect the American people.
Tim Cook is going to jail until he purges his contempt for the FEDERAL court. He won’t like jail and will try to use Habeas Corpus to get released but the Judge will be well within the sanction rules in keeping him right there. After about a year, I expect him to fold. Who does Apple think it is? This is a known terrorist!!
Get a warrant and open the Islamofascist’s phone. If Cook doesn’t like it then arrest his liberal ass for obstruction of justice.
Maybe, they should just ask China. All the hardware is made in commie china, so you have to figure they have backdoors.
I don’t understand why they need to get into the phone? The service provider has every call/text/website visited. What the heck?
This is a phony story. Can’t the NSA just capture everything? Didn’t Snowden tell us that?
No encryption key for the Feds, just give them the contents of the phone in question when the warrant is properly served.
Arrest Tim Cook and leave him in jail until Apple complies.
Good for Apple
At least there is push back against a government that wants control over everything
The FBI did NOT ask Apple to decrypt the phone or provide back doors.
The FBI/NSA will do the actual decrypting of this terrorist asset.
What the asked apple for help on is a phone feature that bricks the phone after some fixed number of failed attempts.
Can Siri a way?

new and easy method to unlock a locked iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running running Apple’s latest iOS 9 software has been discovered, along anyone to access the device’s photos and contacts in 30 seconds or less.
However, the flaw is only an issue for those who have not updated to iOS 9.0.1, the latest software.
All you need to bypass the device’s passcode is Apple’s personal assistant Siri.
You can do this by entering an incorrect passcode a few times, and then on the final attempt invoke Siri immediately. Ask it for the time, and use the clock app to type in a random word in the “Choose the City” field and share it.
Once you can share through the Message app, you can add a photo from the device which gives you access to the entire photo library on the iOS device. You can browse and view photos individually.
You can also select “Create New Contact” to access the device’s contact list.
Apple fixed the issue in its latest software update, iOS 9.0.1.
This hack comes days after French security firm Zerodium announced a total of $3m bounty rewards for iOS exploits and jailbreaks until October 31 - but the condition is the attacker must be able to remotely compromise a non-jailbroken iOS device.
In the case of this hack, it only works if someone has physical access to your iPhone or iOS device so it doesn’t qualify, but since the hack is relatively easy for novices to pick up, it’s a huge risk to your personal data.
This is the second iOS 9 hack discovered since the software launched - the first allows access via AirDrop.
How to Prevent iOS 9 Hack
Until Apple fixes this issue, iOS 9 users can protect themselves by disabling Siri when the device is locked from Settings > Touch ID & Passcode.
Once disabled, you’ll only be able to use Siri after you have unlocked your iOS device using the passcode or your fingerprint.
Turn off access to Siri when your device is locked
Poor mindless Apple defenders....
Apple unlocked at least 70 iPhones before refusing to hack into terrorist’s device
