No Mr. Cook, "chilling and dangerous" is the thought that the NSA has already looked at the education and IRS tax records of your employees. They figured out who your iOS developers are, and approached them to put the back door in that is already in your phone.

Maybe just a cheap movie plot...but with bammy and his cohorts in crime? I don't think there is anything they would not do.

You are so wrong. If they give it to the FBI they must give it to China, Russia and Iran. This is crazy. And after Russia has it, how long til the Russian mob has it. And then everyone else.

What they are asking for is the ability for people to steal read your phone. And then to do it without even taking the phone from you.

When Apple sells a phone into a country that country insists that Apple gives them everything the US has. Cook is defending all of us and all those in other countries.

True, but there are too many checks and balances in the engineering to be able to do that and not get caught doing it.
