Look, you think I’m improving the facts? What do you not understand? The fact that the FBI has bungled this case? The fact that the county should have had MDM on the employees phone like every other competent company chooses to do? The fact that there is no such thing as good enough encryption? The fact that you can’t build a back door method for only one entity?
Technology that I’m sure you love to use, has to be built with the intent of perfect secrecy and to strive for perfect privacy. Either we all have the notion of security or none of us do, including the agents who use these devices for government work and ship secrets back to us.
You don’t purposefully build a weakness into a secure system, and there is no such thing as only certain people have access to the break method.
It’s not dust I’m throwing, I’m trying to warn you of what this means from a global personal security pespective and I don’t believe you posess the ability to understand the importance of protecting the public’s privacy, and that’s likely from my piss poor explanation.
I’m sure you and your lawyer friends will be the first to stand up and sue security companies (Like mine) for not maintaining security best practices. Or God forbid all your bank transactions are intercepted and routed to another’s account... Or someone jumps in the middle of your secure transaction and defrauds you. But Lawyers get it both ways don’t they? They sue for doing too much, they sue for doing too little. All the while laughing all the way to bank.
Perhaps we should all just forego encryption, that way we can protect the children and catch those pesky terrorists... Because we know they will follow the law they wouldn’t dare use encryption! You see if we purposefully make weak systems the only people who are hurt are the law abiding folks whose information is now exposed, and exploited.
The Pew Research Center, which conducted the survey over the weekend, found substantial support for the Justice Department in its roiling fight with Apple over the software designed to protect consumers’ personal data.
Fifty-one percent of respondents said Apple should take steps to “unlock” the device, which the company could do by disabling a feature that wipes the phone’s storage after 10 incorrect passcode attempts. Meanwhile, just 38 percent said Apple should keep that protection in place, and 11 percent said they weren’t sure what to think.
“Perhaps we should all just forego encryption, that way we can protect the children and catch those pesky terrorists... Because we know they will follow the law they wouldn’t dare use encryption!

Perhaps we should all just forgo the security of being able to gather evidence in discovery and the use of warrants. “Sorry, my information is locked up. Tell all those kids their dead parents just aren’t that important.
“You don’t purposefully build a weakness into a secure system, and there is no such thing as only certain people have access to the break method.”
Encryption isn’t at stake, the FBI knows Apple already has the desired key
Whether you call it a “backdoor” or not, it’s important to recognize that the ordered changes to the iPhone operating system would not circumvent the core of the iPhone’s encryption. The court isn’t asking Apple to defeat the encryption in any way. Nor does the court require Apple to create a vulnerability that would jeopardize the security of any other phone. Rather, it’s asking Apple to do the one thing that Apple alone can do: use the iPhone’s built-in method of installing firmware written by Apple.
Hey Dim Bulb, almost all the readers a Huff Po and DU and Kos are with you on this. You should cruise them for some moral support. You sounded a little stressed out in that last post.
Hey, a lpt of those DU and HuffPo comments look like they were written by you! Cut and paste?

We will bury you assholes. You can’t thwart the security of the 4th amendment provided to the preyed upon by crooked lawless and disreputable companies or private entities by making information unobtainable in discovery. Use your head. It’s that lump of granite three feet above your ass.
