I thought Apple was an Irish company (like Google,Pfizer Tyco, etc all those companies that have done tax inversions). How can they be compelled to follow US law? Just because they have an office here?? What if they moved ALL THEIR JOBS to Canada and Mexico? Would the CIA then have the right to engage them because they were foreign? Would drones accidentally crash into their headquarters? Or is the CIA going to start a campaign against Apple? This looks a lot like cancer when the body attacks itself. Though I agree with the sentiment that terrorist behavior is abhorrent, we cannot allow the terrorists to win by succumbing to the pressures they create. I understand the need for improved intelligence to predict and prevent future incidents, and I think there is no better example for the value of human intelligence (humint). Rather than engaging in the dirty business of scouring everyone's dirty laundry, I think the gov should crowdsource this effort. The gov's role should be in developing infrafrastructure, methods and plans on how to assess, verify and value the information they receive-rather than pursue the acquisition of data themselves. Ultimately it's still the same problem they have with their own agents-how do you know the information you are getting is true? Wasn't the search for WMDs in Iraq an example of unverified intel acquired by our own agencies? As Snowden pointed out, no one lives in a vacuum. The gov has the metadata of every tel no and IP address that phone connected to. Those are probably much lower hanging fruit. The individuals that own those devices may be couriers, innocent bystanders or unrelated websites. But that is the job of the agency-to rank these leads, pursue them and prosecute the highest risk ones.
