House committee invites Apple CEO Tim Cook, FBI Director James Comey to discuss encryption
Wow! Are you ever naive! The government can't even protect the data they have, and you want to give them the keys? Just look at all the recent hacks of government systems, millions of records, and even the Snowden incident.bugsnw said:I think if this was another company, people would think it prudent to help unlock phones on a court-ordered by court-ordered basis. The odds of this technology getting out are quite low. Both sides make a great case. I just lean slightly towards national security on this one. Even with an encryption key safeguarded by the govt./FBI, I would feel like my data was safe from prying eyes. We don't have all that much privacy out in the wild as it is. It's part of the give and take of rights vs. safety.

The bottom line is that we are spending 10's of BILLIONS of dollars on national security every year. Let the government do their job with the tools they already have - that should be our expectation and our demand as a free society. This phone is not the most critical factor in stoping terrorism. Democracy and freedom comes with a cost. Accept it.G. Ned C. said:I have everything I could find on this subject this week in trying to decide how I feel about it. It is a very difficult issue for me. I can clearly see both sides. We all want to know where domestic terrorists might strike next, and we all want to insure that our phones and associated cloud storage are secure from would-be hackers. At least for now, I side with Apple. I don't want to slide down that slippery slope, at least in this instance. I think it highly unlikely that they will find anything useful on this guy's work phone, after having destroyed their personal phones and removed/destroyed the hard drive in their computer. Maybe in a different situation, but let's not go there quite yet.

And there you have ...
"According to news reports, there are a number of other law enforcement officials around the country considering use of authorities to compel similar assistance by technology manufacturers."
This will spread around the world if Apple complies, and if it is even possible!!! This is absolutely NOT about one iPhone, nor is it only a US issue!
