If previous news comments are correct and the terrorists destroyed their personal phones and removed the hard drive from their computer but left their work iPhone 5C intact one would conclude that there isn't any data on the iPhone 5C that would incriminate them or help the FBI with terrorist contacts
Naive, as are many here. Comey is a Republican who worked under the Rightmost-ever Attorney General Ashcroft during the Bush Administration.
why would Pres. Obama appoint such a person to head the FBI? Answer, because he had to. No president has any more than lip-service "authority" over the secret police apparatus in the US. The case of JFK proved that. The machinery behind that episode has never been exposed, and it's still in effect.
before you become president you are given an agenda under which you must work. You lose your taste for leadership after that first "security briefing." It's enough to turn you ashen-faced, so they said about the Pres.
Much as I agree with you generally, rolling back consumer encryption is in fact supported by President Obama. Nobody who's legacy depends on "keeping the American People safe" really has an option to not do that. What I would like to think would have happened is that there would at least be a transparent meeting(s) of government, industry and legal scholars that could craft some well considered legislation. That certainly is something that President Obama could do, and he has in fact had meetings to that effect, sans Industry and independent legal scholars.
Right... Remember the positives last year? I do. It's still sluggy as hell with 4G!! of memory to get the performance of 2 in the Iphone. And it's just as expensive as the Iphone, what's the point? They're support is horrible, they get devalued within 6 months with rebates. The only good thing going for them is the camera; even there, nobody's really doing tests while in movement, it's all what I call "tripod tests".
Obama's DOJ and the White House supports his attack on privacy.
I know. What i'm trying to tell you guys is that the DOJ is not Obama's, at least not the FBI part. Just ask JFK, or his brother RFK. You might have to piece the answer together yourself, since they're hard to ger ahold of.
in general, it's best to think behind the surface story of how it all works, rather than swallow the story that's in the textbooks or on TV.

This land grab by the FBI is not that.
