The question is simple, do you want the government to be able to see everything you do? The real bad guys can use good crypto that cannot be deciphered if they do it right. But the government is trying to pass a law that will guarantee they can read the stuff on your devices anytime they like. If this capability could be limited to legitimate search warrants that would be OK but once the technology exists you can be sure there will be a lot of fishing on the part of law enforcement. They already do it with cell tower simulators who can do man in the middle attacks on your phone or officers who stop someone and demand to see your phone. All this for a handful of terrorists who will quickly upgrade to unbreakable ciphers.
The FBI paid professional hackers to brake into the San Beranrdino shooter’s iPhone. So will the federal government now clue Apple in on the software flaws it leveraged?
Who here really believes that the gubmint can’t already get ahold of everything on your mobile devices? It was just a charade. They had it, but want you to feel safe now.
Clone the memory chip, try passwords 9 times, clone the memory chip, try passwords 9 times, clone the memory chip, etc. Do this until you find the password. Plus it was an older model phone. The newer iPhones have better privacy protection-Plus, the FBI likely did not find anything on the they didn’t already have from the iCloud back-up
