Apple is trying to protect two things with this BS, its brand and its profits.
If there is one terrorist call that is not investigated, which results in another dead American, blame it on Apple trying for more profits.
How bout the warrantless searches? Who gets the blame for those?
No, I will blame it on the government that allowed the terrorists into the country in the first place.
So, cracking one dead terrorist’s phone is worth compromising the privacy of all Americans? Yeah, right, Comrade—why don’t you hike on back to China or Russia or wherever the hell you were raised?
