    This just became my litmus test for who I'll be financially supporting this election cycle. 

    And I'm  letting them know it.

    jfc1138jfc1138
    Now according to USA Today the feds admitted in today's filing San Bernardino changed the ID. 

    "In the government’s Friday filing,  the Justice Department acknowledged that the password was re-set in the hours after the attack by authorities with San Bernardino County. The county owned the phone and provided it to Farook for work."

    i mean damn. 

    Way to go Feeble But Incompetent!

  • US Department of Justice files motion to force Apple to crack terrorist's iPhone

    Minor detail: the 5c was owned by the San Bernardino County Dept. of Health. It was a work phone which is why I expect when the murderers crushed their own cellphones and didn't bother with this one.

    The DoJ couldn't care less about sanitary inspection reports, they're after a masterkey and a precedent.

    So they filed another whine with Pym? Like she needs encouragement. She didn't even request input from Apple before rubber stamping the original DoJ request for a masterkey software kit.

    We needed the encryption bill, this is true. Just one more reason why something like 87% of Americans despise the US Congress.

    That said, I do hope a law comes out of this to punish people like Tim Cook who are so pathetically incapable of comprehending the damage he does to society with his elitist attitude.

    You want companies to be punished for fighting to protect your privacy? There is nothing elitist about protecting everyone's rights as a citizen.

    It is not a matter of whether or not you have something to hide. This expansion of intrusive police powers is the first step in a slippery slope that can lead to abuses that reveal personal information that can limit your ability to achieve your financial and personal goals. Maybe someone uses corporate info gained illicitly to manipulate the stock market and makes your holdings worthless. Don't say it can't happen, because there are countless examples worldwide throughout history.

    Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
    No, he wants companies punished for exercising their legal rights. Oh, and being "elitist".

    The DoJ has BEGGED these idiots for a cellphone encryption bill and instead we get this sort of grandstanding?

    Not shocked. 

    Morons indeed. 

    Oh oh how does this idiot expect to get around the right of appeal?
