40 minutes is quite quick. Glad my family uses Apple iPhones.

Shoot. I have a Samsung phone. I wonder if I can put Blackberry security on it?

[ansel12]

My phone is unlocked with no password.

They reported he used two phones and only looked up Church hymns.

GLAD I ONLY HAVE A LAND LINE—————

they need a system that unlocks any phone for the FBI use. This is ridiculous.

“Glad my family uses Apple iPhones.”

Expect the US government to be able to get into any electronic device you can obtain in the USA.

I assume every character I type is caught by the US government or a contractor.

Oh noes, if they crack my phone they'll see ten phone numbers, fourteen nazi memes. I'm buying spy encryption after I finish this post.

I can just see Trump reading about this

They didn’t ask the NSA? I guess they want to be able to delete any FBI undercover agent phone numbers.

"they need a system that unlocks any phone for the FBI use. This is ridiculous."

You really love the surveillance state. You do realize that every back door developed for a government is vulnerable to hackers right?

What happens when what was once legal, like complaining about your government and campaigning for change, becomes a crime?

Your disdain for the privacy of others is leading you to want chains put on yourself. Read my tagline based on Ben Franklin saying (truncated to fit).

Android is not impressive. It does not surprise me at all to learn that it is not secure.

[Jonty30]

You’re only a single data dump away, like the rest of us. No matter what Apple tells you.

[Steven Scharf]

It was over a day to unlock it. Saying 40 minutes is very bogus. They were able to get in the next day only after using higher tech stuff then they already had.

[doorgunner69]

I only have a few phone numbers on mine, what were they looking for?

It is android I think, I cannot use that apple stuff

[ChildOfThe60s]

Now they can erase anything that incriminates them.
Whew!

20 Mins Before!

FBI grabbing my I-phone. Looking at it. Opens the screen. Copies everything. Then politely plugging it in to my charger because I’m down to 22%.

Sometimes it’s the user, not the hardware.
