George. I'm hearing that the FBI would allow apple to make the code and break into the phone and then give the phone to the FBI and then apple would keep the software used to break into the phone.

I normally don't think that the FBI should be going around spying on everyone. But this case is different. The I Phone is owned by the County Government and they want the information in the phone given to the FBI. The court has looked at this case and sided with the FBI so far.

If we want to track the contacts of these two KNOWN Terrorist and Murders then Apple needs to step up and use their expertise to help the FBI.

This encryption stuff is what German used during WWII to make war against the allies. If we had not broke the German encryption machines we all would be speaking German and or Japanese or Italian instead of English.

We are at war with ISIS and if apple is not on our side then they are with the terrorist IMHO.

Maybe it's time for Congress to pass some new laws regarding these secrete software being used to help known terrorists.
I understand, but it is a slippery slope.......

Generally I support the government in these situations, and have for most of my life, but the Snowden and Manning cases are extremely concerning to me.

On one hand folks like you say I don't care and let them have the technology to break into it........and then on the the other hand, you bitch and complain when the feds want to POUND Manning and Snowden, and most recently Hillary into the ground for leaking sensitive material.

What do you want....you cannot have it both ways.

Governments have secrets, and there are things I don't care to know, and as a common member of our society, I don't NEED to know.

Just imagine for a minute.........Hillary Clinton is a senior member of the State Department. She gets briefed on soem technology component that we're going to use to TRACK DOWN and take out all terrorists. YOU know what...she was sharing that extremely sensitive information on a private network that was more than likely infiltrated by some extremely bad actors.

Yea, I know you and most liberals don't believe there is anything to the Hillary mess, but are YOU willing to take the risk.....

Personally the risk I"m talking about are very real if we give the FBI back doors into technology meant to keep things private.....

And don't kid yourself about doing things you're not supposed to do......Political groups have been using collected data over the past few decades to do very, very bad things.........Government or agencies of other governments could use that data very creatively.

I don't want the FBI or any group having any type of back door into my cell phone.......

Later,
