  1. So, the FBI are liars?

    Nahhh say it aint so

    if the truth were known, and if this country wasnt so full of sheeple.. Apple phones and all the rest of them would be out of business if they couldnt prove to secure our personal info .. we pay , and are signatory to a contract, yet these pukes purge our info to anyone who asks for it or finds a way to hack into it

    ditch the smart phones and go back to burner phones..or a string and a can

    cant wait for North Korea’s Idiot to EMP us so all this shit can go up in smoke

  2. So wait a sec..

    This is all to get officially into the Bernadino shooters phone.
    Somewhere else I read that the code has changed since that phone was in governments hands. (Tempering? Nah they would never do that… or would they?)

    So what happened to the witness accounts stating that 3 white dudes were the shooters. and what an un-tempered phone could prove considering innocence of the executed patsies.

    Or is it more like 911, when they were reporting the positive to the general story witnesses (PR), and didn’t put any witness stories proving/stating to the contrary on the tube so the rubes all believed the same story.

  3. Well if you believe Snowden (and others sources have confirmed this), then there was no reason for this whole affair to be in the news other than to get a law passed that gives government back doors into ALL encrypted devices.

    1. I’ve always assumed that the government already has back doors into almost everything. That’s probably too strong an assumption, but I figure it’s better to be safe than sorry.

      It’s still possible to communicate securely over networks, but it has to be done via coded phrases written on paper (or memorized) and exchanged in person ahead of time. One-time pads are also perfectly secure if used properly, though they’re not very convenient and they reveal the use of encryption.

  4. There is a question…

    How does someone who’s on the run from the CIA, in fear of his life, still keep coming up with new data and information?

  5. Wiretapping. Cf. Eavesdropping; Recording telephone; Can we Tape: http://www.rcfp.org/taping/
    18 U.S.C. § 2511 (Interception and disclosure of wire, oral, or electronic communications prohibited);
    18 U.S.C. § 2511(2)(d) (It shall not be unlawful under this chapter for a person not acting under color of law to intercept a wire, oral, or electronic communication where such person is a party to the communication or where one of the parties to the communication has given prior consent to such interception unless such communication is intercepted for the purpose of committing any criminal or tortious act in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States or of any State.);
    ORS 165.543 (Interception of communications);
    Heutsche v. U.S., 414 U.S. 898 (1973) (Justice William O. Douglas, dissenting opinion) (Mr. Justice Holmes in Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 470 (dissenting), called wire-tapping ‘dirty business.’ That decision was rendered in 1928. Since that time ‘dirty business’ has become the apt phrase describing the regime under which we now live. The warrant requirement which this Court imposed as a condition to that kind of surveillance, Berger v. New York, 388 U.S. 41, and the Act of Congress which implemented that decision, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2520, United States v. United States District Court, 407 U.S. 297, have been flouted. We who live in the District of Columbia know that electronic surveillance is commonplace. I am indeed morally certain that the Conference Room of this Court has been ‘bugged’; and President Johnson during his term in the White House asserted to me that even his phone was tapped.); http://laws.findlaw.com/us/414/898.html

  6. FBI has data from every phone company. What’s his point?

    Once again, Snowden, tell us something we DON’T KNOW, you dumbass!!!!

  7. Yeah NC, it’s like they want us to believe that Apple is “fightin’ for our rights!” Just like Bill Gates is a honest businessman and didn’t lie, cheat and steal all the technology for Windows. Now, if Jobs was still alive, it would be more believable.
