Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] The 227-Year-Old Statute Being Used to Order Apple to Endanger Y

My 2 cents, the FBI has been whining about the encryption since it was first implemented. I strongly suspect they waited for a terrorist event to gain public support to turn up the fire.

They need to figure out how to do the investigation part of their job without trampling on our constitution.

1. This has all the earmarks of a workplace violence shooting ("going postal"), with the ONLY suggestion of terrorism being the fact that the maldoers were Muslim.

2. A back door is EXACTLY what the FBI is requesting.

3. Even the FBI director, in Congressional testimony, has stated that he will use this precedent, if he can get it, to crack other phones.

4. You say "Just read what is on the phone."
How do you propose to do that, absent the back door the FBI has demanded Apple create for them?

5. What do you expect cracking this device — one pointedly NOT destroyed by the shooter, despite having destroyed his personal phone and his laptop — and thought by police authorities to contain nothing probative — to do for the dead innocents? Help convict a dead man?

Both the husband of one of the women injured, and the parent of one of the children killed have spoken out in support of Apple's position.

As have the former head of the NSA and the CIA, and the present head of the Department of Defense.
