    When it comes to BengalB any myself regarding puns, I think it's apples and oranges.

    Basically I'm a bulldozer and he is just kinda pectin away at it.

    So what you're saying is that you're
    a better fruit than me. OK, I like oranges better than apples and androids. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

    It's a religious thing. The puntiff told me to do it.

    The former head of the CIA and NSA Michael Hayden is on Apple's side.

    i say Apple unlocks the phone for the feds (with no code or backdoor 'key' given) or Tim Cook goes to an ass pounding federal pen.
    and i love Apple.

    Not facetious. They could just refuse to do it. You can't force them to do it.

    Once that key is made though it's game over for iPhone users and Apple will take a hit. I won't be using my iPhone for anything anymore other than a phone. Lots of people make purchases on their phones, have social media, credit card info, then police will be asking for the software to get into phones and pretty soon the security of the iPhone doesn't exist anymore.
