Apple opposes gov order to unlock iPhone

[SunsetBengal]

For the record, I back Apple's stance. Giving government agencies the "keys" to unlock anyone's phone is just wrong. I get the whole "this is a case of terrorism" argument. However, they should have asked Apple to kindly have their engineers unlock the phone, and turn it back over to the government.

Giving up the secret to the government would only lead to "other situations" where they decided it was "absolutely necessary" to violate other people's right to privacy.

Edit: I'm probably restating an argument that has been made many times throughout this thread, just too lazy to read 80 posts before chiming in. Sorry.
