The elephant in the room is the incompetent foreign policy of the U.S.  The wife of the terrorist had a Facebook page that showed her terrorist beliefs, but due to the politically correct insanity of U.S. immigration policy, the immigration check was forbidden from looking at her FB page!  Moreover, the terrorists destroyed their other phones--how likely do you think it is that they left valuable info on the remaining work phone?  Finally, the FBI screwed up their handling of the phone.  To summarize, several U.S. government agencies screwed up royally, but now want to make this Apple's problem!...?  Will hacking the phone help with the FBI's "investigation"?  Extremely unlikely.  Will creating a backdoor severely damage the most successful U.S. business, and compromise the security of hundreds of millions of Apple users, and empower other governments to also force backdoors into additional electronics?  Absolutely, 100% yes!  Screw the FBI!  Hurray for Tim Cook and Apple!
