If I was Apple I would use the info on the phone to create algorithms that would explode the phone when mooslems said certain key words. Words like "This vial has enough toxin to kill everybody in Pineville." What happens when people forget their passwords? There must be an easy way to change the password. I have forgotten my password to websites before and all I have to do is email them and answer the security question and it's changed. I don't use a password on my phone. Never have.
My question is why do you think the Gubment is going to be able to do anything with that information if they aren't even smart enough to figure out how to get it. McAfee the company who just got duped by the lockY virus is supposed to be able to figure this out but the Gubment can't? Doesn't say a lot for our guys.
In this case I don't expect them to find much of anything. These terrorists were very careful to use multiple burner phones and dispose of them after using. They had social media accounts but those can be accessed by agencies without having to have their phones. But how do we know that some future terrorists won't be a lot less tech savvy and more careless?
Figured you'd say some dumb shit like this. You do realize we are talking about a terrorist right? This isn't Johnny Appleseeds phone, it is Johnny Jihads and we damn sure are entitled to find out what is on it.
Yeah I do and what's to stop them from branding anyone a terrorist and then doing it to them. If the government with all of their resources can't figure it out, that's their problem, not Apple's.
Another example of no one using good common sense. Why does it always have to be all one way or the other. Jesus, Apple should give them the information without compromising the security of every IPhone in the world. What is so hard about that?
Easy. If you are a US born black, white Hispanic or Asian and your name is John Smith, Jose Cuervo or Ting Tang Tong you may or may not be an ordinary criminal but not a terrorist. If your name is Ahmed Hussein Mohammed you are a terrorist and enemy of America no matter where you were born.
