The FBI and Apple argued the case in court and in Congress, but in the end, the FBI paid an unknown third party more than $1 million to unlock the phone without Apple's help. ... Copied to Clipboard!

"To leave it open forever to that fingerprint, for instance, means that you could go after somebody whose phone you've stolen, get a fingerprint off their glasses weeks later ... break into their house and get their fingerprint. And that would be a huge security vulnerability." That sounds like kind of a stretch. Intuitively, disabling fingerprint access after 48 hours does seem to make sense, but justifying it like that just sounds ridiculous and paranoid. --- This is my signature.

they should be able to serve a search warrant for the phone's content and force apple to unlock it What you're asking is for them to deliberately engineer a weakness in their security, a backdoor that allows them access if subpoenaed. There's two huge issues with that: #1: The US government is not the only government in the world with subpoena power. China, Iran, Saudi Arabia - any of them could reasonably order Apple to do the same thing in order to crack down on legitimate expression or peaceful dissent. #2: Hackers will find a way into any weakness. No matter how elaborate the lock, hackers - if given enough time - will create a key for it. Yes, in a perfect world, creating something like this would be fantastic, but the specifics of digital encryption tech today mean that it's completely unfeasible - not unless you want to put the personal data of every single iPhone user in the world at risk. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.

Isn't the guy dead? They need to unlock his phone to keep him from coming back from the grave or something?
And I'm really not in favor of giving the government yet another avenue of power which they will undoubtedly abuse as they have done historically 100% of the time they can do so --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mead "I'm Mary Poppins ya'll!" ... Copied to Clipboard!

The government should never be able to compel a business to do something like that. Are you crazy? Mead posted... Isn't the guy dead?

People complain the government has a back door into all their electronics all the time. If they can get one phone unlocked, then the nsa can get into any phone.
Besides, they'll just crack it in a month anyway, like always. They just want to make it easier. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Veedrock- posted...Mead posted...They need to unlock his phone to keep him from coming back from the grave or something? The phone could give hints as to what prompted the shooting, whether he had accomplices, etc. I don't disagree in principle that the cops should be able to look at that material with a warrant, but compelling Apple to help them crack the phone and/or mandating that they leave a backdoor for law enforcement to use is a terrible idea. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
