Should Apple help the Feds break into the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone?

    The issue is that there is no process for unlocking the phone to search it without it essentially self destructing. To me, the individual privacy is not an issue. The issue is that Apple is essentially being asked to create a way to hack into its phones, which would put all users at risk.

    Just ask the Chinese. They have all the info.

    If Apple is forced to make a solution for the feds to use on this one phone, you think they are going to drop it in the Recycle Bin as soon as they are done?

    Feinstein says Apple should help too.

    Cotton is wrong or, probably more accurately, disingenuous. Apple is choosing the privacy of the American people, not an ISIS terrorist.

    Well, he does add the following, which is true to some extent. But I still fall on the side of privacy and cybersecurity. Sounds to me like Cotton would rather just abolish such encyrption altogether.

    Of course she would; she's the biggest hawk on the Hill.

    Didn't he write that book, "A Good Call Spoiled"?

    Don't say that about the future GOP nominee for POTUS (even though it's true about everything he says or does).
