With the brain trust they have at DOJ they still won't be able to read it.
I would feel a bit better about Apple had they not bend over and assumed the position for the Chinese.
Appe should prevail no gubmint can invade like that
Oops, that’s “bent”. Darned iPad, it’s all Apple’s fault.
I suspect that’s what Apple wanted in the first place. Allows them to maintain credibility with their customer base and it ‘puts the problem behind them’ (a little GOPe lingo).
Uh, why don’t the various alphabet LEA’s track young Muslim men and women. You know, spook the Mosques and get real intel? s/?
How? As far as I know there is not one canidate who backs Apple.
Point well taken. Yet, here we are.
DOJ can’t do squat. Let’s see what the courts say
Different request by the Chinese
Apple might cooperate with a reasonable request
I have a better question. The NSA has all of this data captured in the meta grabs. Why not just get it there?
So, there was this cop who decided to shoot a dog chained in someone’s yard because it MIGHT interfere with him doing what ever.
A woman protected her pet from him and got arrested for it, naturally.
He husband filmed the whole thing with his iPhone.
When he arrested the woman, the cop also seized the iPhone.
The iPhone was LOCKED and the cops couldn’t access it.
The video was key evidence in the trial and the woman was acquitted.
Wanna bet the video would not have been on the phone if the cops had a ‘back door’ into it?
Go Apple and screw the courts and the cops.
——The NSA has all of this data captured -—
No, that is incorrect by a very long shot. an I phone is a computer with a telephone ap. the device has all sorts of data not collectable by NSA. The wireless data transmission independent of the cell towers can transmit all sorts of very secret stuff the NSA could only dream about.
Then there are all sorts of aps with who knows what kind of records of value.
“With the brain trust they have at DOJ they still won’t be able to read it. “
They’ll turn it over to a government-favored competitor (Google, say) to hack it.
It is perfectly possible to have uncrackable encryption with open-source code. What will they do then?
They are claiming they need to see who they contcted
(I know that)
That should scare people even more
What books are you reading? Papers please

Comply with the order, hand them a locked iphone with it contained on the drive.
