Ah. Look at post #22, I clearly said it was my opinion.
Besides, I do run the Nut-Job Conspiracy Theory ping list! Even I take half of what I say with a grain (or sometimes even a block) of salt.
It wasn't from the FBI's viewpoint wasted effort. They couldn't use the data in court unless they could 'splain where they got it. Without Apple cooperating (or a plausible alternate legal source) the data was utterly useless to them.
Besides, it's not like the money had to come out of their pockets!
I'm just glad you helped me clarify what I meant for other readers.
Have a good evening...

But you never stated that your “opinion” was based on a wild assed “Nut-Job Conspiracy Theory” (without ANY evidence)!!! But honestly, thanks for admitting that you engage in conspiracy theories. As you may have guessed by now, I do not.
