The best information I saw about this issue .. it’s right there on www.rushlimbaugh.com .. he explains that the employer of the terrorists had control and ownership over the cell phone. It was up to them to know how to control the use of the phone.
If they had hired a competent IT professional, they would have been able to control the data on the phone. However, because they did not take care of business, now the employer has a problem and they want Apple to put their company’s proprietary info out there for the world to see, in order for the lazy employer to get control over whatever data may be on that phone.
I’m with Apple. If the proper tasks had been completed on the phone, the employer would have been able to capture all the data on the phone, they could have changed the password themselves. Therefore, why should Apple have to expose themselves to hackers .. because the employer was too lazy to take care of his equipment.
You all should read the front of Rush’s website .. it’s right there for everybody to see.
Apple doesn’t have to expose any of their software to anyone. They could take the phone for a day, unlock it, and give it back. Simple as that.
Honestly the terrorists should not be able to expect privacy. Now terrorists will buy apple products in droves because they know the apple traitors won’t turn on them.
But the employer dropped the ball and didn’t preserve evidence. So it’s Apple’s duty to cooperate with court orders while addressing the privacy issue by keeping secure the in-house backdoor tool which they already undoubtedly have.
