Two things make me highly suspicious of the tech industry's position. One is that decrypting the data on this particular phone necessarily constitutes a hack of all phones. The other is that their commercial needs necessarily and absolutely trump national security. The issue of the balance between national security and our right to privacy is an important one, and this ought to go all the way to the Supreme Court for what will likely be a 4-4 decision. A company like Apple, which uses H(1(B) visas to hire hordes of foreigners to take American jobs here and is constantly invading my phone with its "upgrades" and demands that I agree to this and that legalese just to make fnk phone calls. just doesn't get much sympathy from me. Tim Cook: move yourself and your company to whatever country you feel patriotic toward. Or buy and island and found your own, you unpatriotic corporate profiteer. And McAfee? What is it that makes right-wing billionaires think they should be running the country? Koch wants to destroy environmental laws and OSHA. Trump wants to lead a pack of unwashed, semi-literate old white yahoos to Washington. And this dipstick McAfee, whose software used to freeze my computers years ago, also seems to see the world through the telescope of the rich on high.
