Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Customer Letter

No it's not but I'm not willing to give up what little privacy I still have to expose a terrorist plot. I do not have anything to hide as of right now. No one knows what the future holds, so no one knows what they may want to hide in the future, if anything.

I just had a mental flash of a courtroom scene:

Apple's legal team asks, "How many people in this courtroom have iPhones? How many of you are in favor of having a back-door built into your iPhone that any decent hacker could access?"

Yes, but, unfortunately, that one's easy for them to rebut: "We're the good guys." That will convince the crowd.

The crowd need to be educated. It won't be easy, because "common sense" says this is Apple's patriotic duty. Time for some good advertising - spots and print ads explaining intelligently but simply why it's a very bad idea.

Who might do that? Not universities, because they're on the government's payroll. Gutsy as this act was, I doubt Apple - a public company - could do it alone.
