That's like saying if we let the FBI search a house WITH A PROPER AND LEGAL warrant to look for a terrorist known to live there, then it would be opening up everyone's home to a search.

You either believe in the concept of a legal search warrant or you don't. Apple thinks they're above the law, especially in their rather unhinged quest to protect terrorists.

Sarcastically... and they have a program that even they cannot break into, yet...someone, or some corporation can, and they don’t know how they did it ... But, your probably right.

This whole’thing has been one big mess, exponentially made worse by the obama administration running these agencies.

Except that the government, even with a warrant, cannot compel someone to perform work.

Apple has never created the software that the FBI wants– it does not exist.

Apple's position is that they will not be compelled to perform work, and they will not subject all users to the exposure that creating an entry into the phone in question will create.

Because of the current administration, there are very few places in this world that are free from government intrusion. If you don't have a problem with the FBI in this case, I'd suggest you're on the wrong website.

As far as the unhackability of this Apple Phone goes——ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

No, that would be like asking them to provide a master key to any house
