The FBI is not asking Apple to unlock this one phone, they are demanding that Apple give the source code for its encryption so anybodies phone can be hacked into whenever they want. They are not asking that Apple just get them into this one phone.

I do not own any Apple product for my own but after listening to Rush explain the whole deal, it is not just the four or six digit access code, but they are demanding the encryption codes.

Being an ex-crypto guy in the Army, it was easy to follow where they are hoping to go with this. I am standing with Apple to have one of their engineers get into it and give them the data inside, but not the code to get into any phone, by any means they want.

“The FBI is not asking Apple to unlock this one phone, they are demanding that Apple give the source code for its encryption so anybodies phone can be hacked into whenever they want. They are not asking that Apple just get them into this one phone.”

So why doesn’t Apple offer to decrypt this particular phone?
You seem to suggest that Apple offered to do this.

I thought that they just wanted to get into this particular phone exactly this — but everything I read in the news says otherwise.
