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

He's actually a brilliant software guy who does in fact know a ton about security.

But he's also a raving maniac, and a headline seeker.

I figured everybody can use a little more "bizarre" on a Friday morning.

Oh, no doubt the guy is brilliant...just full of himself and living in past glory.

From the article...

So here is my offer to the FBI. I will, free of charge, decrypt the information on the San Bernardino phone, with my team. We will primarily use social engineering, and it will take us three weeks. If you accept my offer, then you will not need to ask Apple to place a back door in its product, which will be the beginning of the end of America.

So, in thinking out-loud here on the issue, why hasn't John already taken his team and decrypted some other random user's same model phone (volunteered for this venture) as his "proof of concept"? He doesn't need the San Bernadino terrorists' phone to prove that he can do it.

McAfee is insane. Probably a hardcore drug user.

One can always go read the Trumper’s garbage on the election threads. It beats Mother Goose all to hell.
