I just had to wade through the venom and hate on my forum page to get to you. It is vile.

Rush just talked about the phone. I thought, and everyone probably does also, that the Feds wanted to hand the phone over to Apple and let them undo it. Rush says, no, the Feds want Apple to give them the key to unlock ALL phones.

I hope Apple unlocks the perp’s phone and tells the Feds to take a hike.

Even doing so much as that implies that it is possible. The Perp's iPhone would then exist with a version of iOS on it that was unlocked, capable of being copied and then reverse engineered by the FBI and then used to do the same to other iPhones. . . and a single bribe and that iOS version would be in the hands of crooks, capable of compromising ApplePay, stealing identities, passwords, etc.
