LL, why are you so willing to trade Liberty for security? You put way too much trust in government. You're not an idiot like so many on here. Figure it out, man!

Sure it can. How is the software developed? Who are the developers? Where is the software developed? You've assumed away the problem(s).

Why are you so willing to misinterpret what others post?

I can ask you a similar question.

Why are you so willing to trade security for your so called "liberty"?

If you are so concerned about "protecting" your personal information on your cell phone, then don't put your personal information on your cell phone. If you don't want your personal information "perused" by the "government" then don't have your personal information where it can been "seen."

What apparently none of you "libertarians" have figured out is the Fourth Amendment doesn't keep the "government" from "looking and seeing," it only keeps the "government" from using what it "sees" against you!

Do you use WIFI?

You want to huff and puff about your information is no one else's business ... and if you want to keep it that way, ..

.. then don't do any crimes using your cell phone/Iphone as an instrumentality of the furtherance of the elements of the offense ... and also don't become a victim of crime for which the content of your cell phone/Iphone may produce some clues as to the person or persons responsible.

The appellate courts are perfectly willing (as a general rule) to protect your "right of privacy," but the decades of exceptions that have been crafted have ALWAYS been centered around "public safety" and changes in the technology available to crooks.....and now terrorists. Fly much?

Oh, my! How nefarious and diabolical of the investigators!

So, Apple can no longer remotely and surreptitiously delete or modify shit? Nor anyone else!!!

Securing the evidence is a paramount consideration to protect the integrity!

And you've "assumed" the software does not, and has not, existed prior to the phones being marketed with the "super encryption" software installed. Given the general intelligence the manufacturer has displayed, I have a reasonable doubt that the manufacturer installed encrypting software for which they had no "translator"!

Do you all actually believe Apple has no idea how to translate their own encryption? Or worse yet, do you believe a software engineer created a program to encrypt data without knowing how it is structured, how it functions, and how to defeat it?

All of the fear mongering about "criminals" obtaining the "translating software" can just as easily be the basis for confiscating firearms by the government from those lawfully in possession. How do "we" know the "bad guys" won't get them?

My suggestion of having the "translating" done "in house" by Apple was to avoid the ultimate "solution" of prohibiting such encryption in the first place.

There is always a risk. It's a "cost-benefit" analysis.

Do you want "encryption" that protects your personal information? Or not?
