WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is demanding Apple’s help in unlocking at least nine iPhones nationwide in addition to the phone used by one of the San Bernardino, Calif., attackers.
The disclosure appears to buttress the company’s concerns that the dispute could pose a threat to encryption safeguards that goes well beyond the single California case. Apple is fighting the government’s demands in at least seven of the other nine cases, Marc J. Zwillinger, a lawyer for the company, said in a letter unsealed in federal court on Tuesday. ... At a news conference last week after the debate erupted in California, the New York City police commissioner, William J. Bratton, and the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., said they had collected about 175 iPhones, in investigations, that they have been unable to unlock. Mr. Vance rejected the notion that Apple should be forced to cooperate only in certain prominent crimes. View Quote We now see what's behind the foot in the door. |

Ya...BUT TERRORISM AND SHIT!!

I had over 200 phones, and all were stolen. We figured out who the other 200 belonged to, but the last 200 were locked. All I wanted them to do was determine the serial number and let APPLE contact the owners. They refused to even assist.
So, 200 people's phones are in an impound box waiting to be auctioned or destroyed. |

If you don't stand with the DOJ, then you are standing with the terrorists, pedophiles, and drug dealers." |

That's why it is so important that Apple tells the FBI to FOAD. |

Unpoosible!
We have been masturbated in the other thread with the assurance that the FBI and the other fine law enforcement types that ONLY the one time would an iPhone be defiled. |

Good for Apple, but I can't help but think if the FBI came to them wanting to break into Cliven Bundy's phone Apple would have done it already.

Question, If the Fbi gets what they need for these phones, will this enable them to get into a phone thats not in their hands but still with their target in use.

With that they can connect it to a computer and brute force it. |

So it was one phone, see nothing to worry about citizens. Umm but now it's 9 phones, just because. Next it'll be all the phones, because fuck you is why.

Once they have the precedent that they can force software companies to write malware on demand, what's to prevent them from mandating that the cracked OS, with whatever payload the government desires, be secretly distributed via automatic updates to ALL devices? Hint: Answer starts with 'n' and ends with 'othing.' Not just Google, Microsoft, and Apple, either. Any company that distributes code (such as, say, auto makers) can, and probably will be, compelled to do the same thing. |

Apple needs to start selectively backdooring the iPhones of any legislators or prosecutors that support this, until they get the message and the dogs are called off.
I am not fond of Apple. I DETEST techno-Orwellian states. The FBI can piss on a live wire. |
