Isn’t he running from the law for a murder charge or something?

Back in the earlier days of computing, McAfee and Norton were the best (and only) ways to go. In more recent decades they have become hit-or-miss bloatware.

McAfee himself is likely clueless on current smart phone encryption methods and is simply looking for headlines.

There is a really good discussion about the FBI request to Apple on Twit.tv with Leo LaPorte, “The Tech Guy” and Steve Gibson from “Security Now” (he joins the discussion in the middle of the show).

It on the Twit.TV show “This Week in Google”. You can watch it by streaming the video, or downloading the video or audio (for free) at this URL.

It would take someone like McAfee to do it. Go John Go!

If I were from Apple the only way I would develop this decryption software would be so it would have a self-destruct mechanism in the software so it could only be used once.

I have No trust of the FBI.They have had a very checkered past with violations of people’s rights to privacy all the way to murder.So why should the FBI be trusted with this capability?

The FBI should due some real investigating and investigate all the phone numbers connected with this cell phone instead of trying the easy way out.

...if the government succeeds in getting this back door, it will eventually get a back door into all encryption, and our world, as we know it, is over.

Our FBI is filled with the types of people who send 50 agents to Ferguson to attack cops - based on NOTHING... accept the lies of black and white criminals.

Some in the FBI and IRS have targeted conservative Americans for their political beliefs... and that type person - a 'true believer in State Power' will 'share' backdoor information with corrupt liberal elites in our Congress and the Administration. Share with people who bargain classified information away to our enemies - while receiving millions of dollars for 42 minute 'speeches'.

Best NOT to share... We live in a world gone bad, run by evil liberal elites... people who will sell their souls - - and our safety - - for 'donations' and high priced 'speeches'...

Maybe we're better off letting terrorists kill us randomly than having our 'betters' hand over the keys to the kingdom ...
