That's really what the DA is after

When I had my first of many sad, Dilbert-like jobs, in the late '80s to early '90s, we had a little free program on our Macs (yes, Macs), that would encrypt and decrypt individual files. The program's documentation contained dire warnings that there was no backdoor, and that at its strongest setting, all the computing power on Earth couldn't break it before you'd be dead of old age, or whatever snuffs you first -- so don't forget the password, or "your data is lost."

No one seemed to have a problem with it then, and that was a freakin' quarter of a century ago. Why is everyone spazzing over it now?

not everyone, just Jim Comey and his minions.

is this an Onion story?

And here I thought that the phone contained the location of a nuclear bomb. I feel relieved now...

The FBI is like a two year old child. They care only about what THEY want, and care nothing at all about anyone else.

Obama's FBI is one of the worst in recent history. It is probably the most incompetently run FBI. The FBI dropped the ball on a lead of Syed Farook prior to the 12/2 attack that could have prevented it. Then, they asked the San Bernardino County to reset the password of Farook's work phone. After Apple could not help the FBI retrieve the remaining phone data, they get a court order behind Apple's back to force Apple to write a compromised OS. I am glad this entire thing is backfiring on the FBI. What goes around, comes around. Everyday, there is more support for Apple. Even U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has come out in opposition of any backdoor to encryption.

Comey is on his own. Poor douche.
