This whole thing is bull puckey. I could do what the FBI is asking Apple to do in two days, without the source code. The idea that the NSA can’t do it is a joke.

This is all about Judicial precedent.

He should be arrested for joining the Establishment “secret” meeting to stop Trump.

Yes, I could. I work with iOS all the time. I’ve been hacking for thirty years.

I can do it. Believe me.

“This is all about Judicial precedent.”

It’s worse than that, it’s a naked attempt to gain effective control of a company’s intellectual property. Apple has every right, under the Constitution, to resist this effort. Before going this route, they might think about not letting Muslims into the country, period. Terrorist or not, each and every one of them seeks to use our legal system to undermine the very foundations of this country and convert it into another “islamic republic.” If you don’t believe that, take a look as places like Dearborn, Michigan.

Sorry, but I rather doubt that you could crack this phone in two days. How will you get modified code onto the phone?
