Seems Apple is refusing to unlock phone for FBI. Why is a phone different from searching house, car and bank accounts? Some say it will be opening up innocent contacts to be investigated. But is not exposing a terrorist network worth that?

You realize your a terrorist in Democrats eyes?I say fuck that terrorist. He has no rights. We already know the fbi can crack it so why even ask apple to do it for them. They already refused with the San Bernardino shooter. I applaud apple for respecting privacy, but when terrorism is involved they should step up.

I get it. I abhore the patriot act. But this asshole isn’t even a us citizen. He committed what could be construed as an act of war.I don't think you fully understand how this works.
Bet you loved the "Patriot" act too...
Apple (if they are telling the truth) does NOT have access to the encrypted data itself and does not have a specific back door built in.
So they will comply with any correctly processed legal demands and hand over the data that they have access to, but that's all they can do.
Now if they want the encrypted data, there is a couple outfits in Israel that will take care of that for you for a fee.
The FBI did something similar some time ago.
This is just more PR BS by the kids in the room to demand that the manufacturers put in "back doors" for "the public good" which of course means every government and every police department lines up to demand the same thing, which then means all the criminals have full access to your data the moment they pay off some government worker....
The adults in the room aren't the slightest bit bothered and you don't see them whining about these encrypted devices nearly as much.

Open it. He is a foreign national.
Who killed patriotic American kids.
No quarter. No sympathy. No hesitation.
The kid he killed is worth more than The entire population of Saudi. Fuck them!
Sirhr
I didn’t realize this shooter wasn’t American.
that makes it obvious the gov is trying to milk this for even more control and access over Americans. I’m no lawyer (I just play one on forums) but if dude was not American I don’t see were they need permission. They are not after what’s on that phone though. They are after what’s on the phone of anyone who is opposed to tyranny. They are after any true American who won’t sit by and let the constitution be trampled on. They are after the founding fathers. They hate us so bad they threatened to nuke us. Eventually the people will be pushed to far and fight back. Now I’m curious to know what their strategy is when that day comes.. being as it feels like any day now. I bet it involves martial law and suspension of the constitution..
Not what I’m suggesting at all. It happened in the US on a US base. This is a national security issue and not a random act of violence. I get where your going but this isn’t that. When you are on a US military installation your 4th amendment rights are not applicable. It’s in the UCMJ. Now since the UCMJ doesn’t apply to this guy, neither do the protections afforded by our constitution. I mean this guy was likely going through F35 training, fuck him. .In both your cases, you miss the actual point.
The government is free to take his phone and go to any one of a number of private vendors that decrypt phones for a price. That has never been in question, and is not related to the title of this thread.
What you are both suggesting is that somehow apple & other vendors should now work with every single government on every level around the world that wants everyone's data without doing any work for it, to put backdoors / key escrow into all their devices so that nobody has any security of their data anymore.
Now as to if apple/google etc are telling the truth or not, that is a different story. But the only way to design a secure encryption system is to actually make it secure. So if they did their design right, they don't have access to the encrypted data without the encryption key.
Now encryption is a cat and mouse game since the beginning of language and usually somebody has found a weakness somewhere, often not in the actual encryption itself, but a way to get around certain things because no user actually wants to type in a thousand character password each time they open their phone.
So the government can buy services from a willing party that breaks into things for a living.
Apple & google are not setup to do that, and it's not constitutional to force them to do so, even if it's "For the Children" or "Terrorists".
This is a battle that was fought hard before a lot of current folks were born, and it took a huge effort for freedom to succeed and the government to back down from their demands to have all the encryption keys and all that. Of course the next generation is all in a hurry to hand over their freedoms as fast as they can.
But don't let anyone kid you, if the adults in the room wanted the data on that phone, they would have it without any publicity at all.

Are you kidding me?Does someone have a link to this shooting? I should have heard about this one.

Thanks. Wasn’t kidding as I don’t watch news and this forum and a airgun forum are my only source of social media.Are you kidding me?

US calls shooting by Saudi officer in Florida 'act of terrorism,' expels 21 Saudi students from training
The fatal shooting of three Americans by a Saudi Air Force officer at a Florida naval base last month was "an act of terrorism," U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Monday, adding that 21 Saudi military trainees will be pulled out of the United States following an investigation into the...www.cnbc.com
If they refused to unlock the hadji phones from San Bernardino, then no. They shouldn’t. If they do, then they just love hadjis.
This mimics Jason Bourne movie with Aaron Kalloor and the CIA , Tim Cook doesn't work with the government then the government deals with the replacement who steps in the position left vacant by the passing of Tim Cook when the government thinks he should pass natural or not.
As did I, clarify to say in the f35 pipeline.It was NAS Pensacola....they fly trainers there, not combat aircraft (used to live on that base).
Ok. Look if we are talking about allowing a back door anytime I’m 100000000000000% against that. But, in this case, Apple should comply. Just my 2 cents. I’m against removing the protections and allowing access anytime. They don’t need a keyHow does that relate to the government demanding Apple either pull some (supposedly non existent) back door out of their rear end to access encrypted files that they don't have the encryption key for, or get to work breaking their own product (if they can, which there is no guarantee they can do)?
Has anyone suggested Apple refused to hand over all the plain text data and unencrypted information they do have?
Haven’t read the story yet but this definitely sounds like the same fbi that was spying on our presidentSo gov imports trash that is known to be hostile and when hostile trash acts on instincts gov demands a co construct a backdoor that was never a part of their design. Tin foil me...
As did I, clarify to say in the f35 pipeline.
If the DOJ really wanted into the phone they would be in it, simple as that. Making people feel content about their "secrets" is the winning move in the long haul.Why doesn't the DOJ bring the phones to Apple and Apple removes the encryption from the phones and hands the phones back to the DOJ giving them full access to those phones. The Apple systems aren't compromised and no one would even know about it.
Lol. More current than I. I lived there from 81-85.
No, they shouldn't
Yeah I was in elementary schoolLol. More current than I. I lived there from 81-85.
Lotta memories fishing down by Lady Lex and camping with Scouts out at Browning Field (which is now condos and golf courses). Fun times....
You were there what I was going in an out working on some of their junk. Were you one of the guys hanging from the birds while cruising above P-cola beach?Lol. More current than I. I lived there from 81-85.

San Bernadino shooter's phone, that was supposedly cracked, was what, iPhone 5C ?
Wonder if anything significant in iPhone changed since then.
Will it be easier now?
That was an Israeli company that unlocked that phone, correct?An Apple employee came forward and did the work on the San Bernardino shooter's phone. It can be done.
