    If this ever becomes a law I would like to see Apple leave the United States. I wonder how many billions the US govt would lose in revenue.

    I understand how encryption works, but somehow I doubt that Apple does not have a way to get into that phone.  Either through the access to the stored encryption keys or backdoor, or something.  On the assumption that they have that ability, I think they should render assistance to the FBI without giving them the tools to access any phone they want in the future.   These are terrorists at war with out country.  That would be the moral thing to do while still protecting the rights of others not to have their phones unreasonably searched.  The FBI has a warrant, signed by a judge, in a very high priority case of terrorism on our own soil from ISIS. So, Apple gets a little egg on their face.   I could forgive Apple for not being entirely truthful about them not having the capability.  I pretty much expected them to have the capability.

    If they truly can't, then hey need to show why they can't and still provide whatever assistance they can without giving the FBI a road map on how to do it on their own in the future, if possible.   

    I have no problem with them making a device that even they cannot break into if that truly is the case.  We do not owe it to the government to make it easy for them to get around the 4th amendment and read our phones at will.  I think it would be bad form and hard to support Apple if they just told the Government to go pound sand, we are not helping you even if we could.  We are under lethal attack from a large group of radicalized religious zealots.

    If Apple truly can't break in, then the FBI should go back and waterboard the suspects until they give them the code.
    First, waterboard doesnt work and that was proven many years ago. Those terrorists, just like those russian spies during Soviet era, are trained to withstand any type of torture, and second, those people who carried out the attacks were shot on site by the police. Maybe if the police had tranquillizer guns and shot darts to put them to sleep rather than kill them they would still be alive and could be interrogated. But then again,if they kill ordinary americans without any reason, I can't really imagine with those terrorists being anything different.

  • Brazilian judge briefly shuts down WhatsApp, crippling communications

    Eduardo Cunha is the worst thing that happened to my country. Ultra-conservative, homophobic, racist, xenophobic with millions in bribe hidden in Switzerland. I can't wait for him to be charged and removed from his job.

    Can you guess which ones actually work ?
    The ones that actually punish people.
    For a start they're not being given them to keep
    What on Earth gives you the impression that people think this?
    for them to use during their incarceration.
    Why do you believe they have the right to do this?

    Nope. The ones that actually work are the ones with the lowest return rate. In the US almost half of the people go back to jail while in Sweden less than 10% return. 
    You shouldnt forget that your tax is funding all this that's why (among other reasons but you probably wouldnt care) their return rate should be lower.
    Recidivism look it up.
