Actually, he was a US citizen, so he does have rights... or at least would if he were still alive. With all of the resources available to the US gov, I don't see why they can't get a few iPhones and a few geeks and reverse engineer it themselves. Seems like it should be a skill set that a gov agency has, but I guess No Such Agency exists...Bitter Clinger wrote:However, a stinking piece of crap terrorist has NO rights, and his seized property should be used to the maximum extent to thwart terror.
And really, what do you expect to find on this phone? It belongs to his employer. They were smart enough to destroy personal phones and hard drives...
Sorry, I'm with Apple on this one. If the gov can't figure it out on their own, they should not be able to force a company to build a backdoor to bypass the encryption and security that the consumer has paid for. I have nothing to hide either, but I don't welcome the police into my home or my auto, so why would I want Apple to unlock my phone and let them in there?
