Apple caused quite a stir earlier this year when it refused a request from the US Department of Justice to unlock a suspected terrorist's iPhone.

If I recall correctly the feds were pressuring Apple to give them the ability to unlock all iPhones. Worse, the particular iPhone used by the feds as a Trojan Horse could have been unlocked by its local government owner at any time until some idiot changed the password. And finally, I do not see here nor recall any mention of a warrant.

Though the article alludes to it, nowhere does it specify that pesky Fourth Amendment. But who am I to believe that the Constitution still has any force in America?!

Tim still doesn’t get it. Sometimes it’s right for private companies to help law enforcement.

The privacy of a dead murderous terrorist is probably not where Apple should have taken this stand.

Other could have been slaughtered by surprise as well.

There ought to be some common sense invoked where possibly the lives of unknown nbrs of innocents could be protected.

Who really believes that a dead mass murderer is entitled to privacy?

Apple’s privacy is worth protecting, and so is Tim Cook’s. Not yours. All your Apple info was sold to the Chinese long ago.
