Also, what information is it you think is on this phone that is “endangering fellow Americans?” The government already know all the calls placed from the phone, have all the metadata, and the owner is dead. Furthermore, the FBI originally had the password for the phone and then somebody at the FBI changed it, possibly by mistake.
You’re happy to subvert the rights of all your fellow Americans just because the FBI f***ed up in this case? That’s pathetic.

I’m not ‘subverting the rights’ of anyone except a dead terrorist. Why is that so hard to grasp? The fact that the government may have made an error does not invalidate the need to crack this phone. Is that your standard, the government may not make any errors?
