    I mean, you can only use this argument if you let us say the government is coming for our guns!

    What if Apple doesn't want to? It's not their responsibility.

    I see. Then why "should" Apple do anything?

    Well, it sort of is, we are talking about terrorist not who is Boinking the neighbors daughter. It's national security in a country they operate out of. Shouldn't be this difficult. Unlock the data, DON'T tell the gvt how you did it and move along.

    I hope the next attack gets someone you care about, not you, I want you to be alive to be able to change your position. Harsh, but the only thing that will get through.

    Sorry

    Why not? Are they not the beneficiaries of American security too?

    Because they don't want to? Should Apple engineers be jailed if they refuse?

    sorry shane it doesn't work that way....you served 20+ like a whole lot of others to protect apple from this....as much as we may think that's a good idea

    do you want this congress and this president deciding they were "entitled" to your parents or your children's phone? you have nothing to hide....except their idea of "nothing" probably changes depending on expediency

    believe it or not, i'll wager that in your lifetime you'll experience a potus you think is worse than bo (just wait....you thought no one could top carter....right?) and i suspect , like me, you'll say our national interest is best served by protecting our freedoms.

    and like lasalle says, it sure doesn't say much for our guys if we haven't already told apple, "eff you, we cracked that shit before lunch..."
