Few other good points by a iPhone security researcher to common arguments.

Yeah, but, you said this is Farook’s work phone. And his work supports opening it. So, why is Apple not helping out?
_**[FONT=arial]Because it would set a precedent where Apple would be required to build special tools to undermine security protections to get at its customers’ data whenever the government asks. In New York already, the district attorney says he has hundreds of iPhones he would want Apple to use this tool on. And it would set that precedent for other companies too. That’s why other tech companies, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Mozilla, have come out in support of Apple’s position.**_
[/FONT]The big point being smart for the government trying to set a precedent on a terrorism case because you know if you don’t comply, you hate America and the media push is actually working to get Americans to support the FBI

Warrants were issued for this couples arrest, before the bullets flew. Maybe the FBI should do their job and stop with the decryption bs

Maybe the FBI is really after something else. Maybe it is Apple’s hidden mind control app. :tinfoilhat:
