But we are going to have to get over that because right now we are faced with tremendous threats, and individuals, radical jihadists, that want to destroy us. And we are going to have to weigh these things, one against the other.

Be nice if the government put that much effort into actually keeping the terrorists out of the country in the first place.

Well yes and no.

Cruz did not say boycott Apple.

Cruz simply said Apple should honor the court order - which they should - if they can.

But the fact is, there is no back door to honor the court order with.

You are comparing Apples to oranges.

Trump said everyone should boycott Apple. Cruz said no such thing.

Cruz did say Apple should honor a legal court order. Which is true. The key thing though, there is no back door to unlock the data. On that Cruz was misinformed. So Apple can’t comply without extreme measures which they are not obligated to do.

Calling for a boycott of Apple is not the same thing and you know it. Trump stepped in it here.

It is very likely the government can remove the flash memory chip in the phone and save the contents. After doing so they can wipe them out over and over again trying to break the code without the risk of losing the original encrypted data.

Oh. My. God! This is “When Cults Collide!” How in the heck does an Apple fanboi & Trump fanboi reconcile this? It’s like finding out your wife is cheating on you with a woman... and that she’s a man! Where the heck did I put the popcorn?

Trump should be backing Apple against Obuma and his state-sponsored terrorists in the FBI. Dummy.

Screw it. We’re heading for America Revolution 2.0 or secession regardless of who gets elected president. Buy cans of Campbell’s tomato soup while you can.

Nah. I'm just a fan of reasoned arguments. Both Cruz and Trump are wrong here, but rather than explanations, we get two dozen posters exchanging insults. It's called ad hominem, and it's the most basic of logical fallacies. So I figure a little satire is fair turnabout.

BTW, ad hominem is a pretty good description of your post, too (delegitimizing the person rather than their statement). So I figure I'm wasting my time speaking to you in a reasonable fashion. But hope springs eternal...

Loose canon

Why is NO ONE bring out the fact that the FBI had these guys on their radar long before they went on the rampage - they were watching them/their movements and contacts.

BUT

the ‘buumer administration called them OFF - said stop to surveillance - it’s pro-filing.

Had they not been called off, they would likely have discovered the illusive third man - probably been able to stop the shooting all together -

The Administration and their muzzie-coddling is to blame here.

Hello?

Anyone?

The risk isn't losing the encrypted data - it is the risk of losing the encryption KEY. That key is a taken from a combination of the pin/passcode (which can either be numeric or alphanumeric in iOS 9), a 128-character identifier unique to the specific phone, and a random number known as a "salt". This combination of characters is then run through an algorithm to devise the actual encryption key. If the key is erased from the phone, it is virtually impossible to recreate the same key. Even if you knew the identifier and the pin and tried to recreate the key, you wouldn't get the same one because the "salt" would be different.

I am in total agreement with you. Which Presidential candidate wants to limit their flow into our country?

Observations on Donald Trump's genuine Christian faith.


Disclaimer-1 : I am a Ted Cruz Florida campaigner.

Disclaimer-2 : My wife and I just spent the previous 30 minutes discussing all of the great points that Donald Trump offers.


So here we go.


Donald Trump proclaims that he rarely asks God for forgiveness.

Following the logic expressed this week by a South Carolina pastor ...

"Anyone doesn't ever ask God for forgiveness is NOT a Christian"


Jesus Christ's final words on Calvary's cross included ...

Father forgive them for they know not what they do ...


It follows that "forgiveness" is a pretty big deal.

That's just my two cents ...



P.S. Today is the South Carolina Presidential Primary.

Whatever his great/puzzling positions and excessive twitter tweets at 2 am ...

I staunchly believe that Donald Trump's entrance into the 2016 GOP Presidential campaign ...

is frankly a "divine miracle from God Almighty".

And I say that as a very loyal Ted Cruz supporter.


Donald Trump is THE REASON why JEB! is expected to cancel his 2016 Presidential campaign TONIGHT.

Donald Trump is THE REASON why the GOPe has had its @ss politically kicked from here to eternity.



Whatever happens in South Carolina today ...

EVERY Evangelical Christian Conservative needs to thank God for Donald Trump (even if they vote for Ted Cruz) ...

The FBI could care less if this phone is decrypted, they want to get rid of privacy from all phones. Anyone that is still paying attention cannot think that the US government cares a whit about protecting and serving the public good. WE are the fascist government our ancestors warned us about.
