But a safe is different because if the government gets a safe that belonged to a terrorist they can cut the door off.

I guess my confusion was that they were trying to see who they (she) were communicating with, that's why I said someone should be able to decrypt. I can see the differences if they are just looking for data stored on a device. I still think Apple has the tools required, but that's just an ignorant assumption.


Secondly, thanks to all about the lesson(s); I truly learned something today. Chalk that up to one more thing I am now an expert on. I think I am down now to only 2 or 3 things.
