February 2017: President Hillary stores encryption key on home-brew White House email server...
Hill-arity ensues...
Stay strong, Apple.
This seems a case of violating the Fourth Amendment that guarantees Americans will be free of unreasonable searches and seizure. The solution opens all owners of the phone to a search and that would be unreasonable.
The court order made sense in the days of Perry Mason when law enforcement was given permission to enter a particular residence and open a particular safe. In this case the software solution is equivalent to having the keys to open every house and safe in the country. That result is unacceptable to me even if I trusted the NSA, IRS, HLS, CIA, etc.
4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Apple’s Addendum: Unless you are a liberal organization that encrypts or hides things that cannot be read or found.
Since Apple did not comply it looks like they are going to have to hand over their entire operating system. Then the NSA and other Feds and Gov’t contractors can figure out how to retrieve what they want. Saying that Apple won’t hack its own phone so it will forced to hand over its OS so that others can. A real cluster for the Cupertino foam party bois and only a few court decisions away.
