His point is not about this particular case. He's saying that it has to do with a particular case, i.e. that the FBI is not asking that Apple install a backdoor on every iPhone.
- jahewson 11y agoYes but that's not what's going to court - the FBI are asserting that they have a blanket power to request Apple to hack their own product. It's a matter of law, not specific to this case and the outcome will set a landmark legal precedent. So BillG is really wrong to state otherwise. Matters of law are never just about a single case.
- EdHominem 11y agoIf the FBI simply wanted into this specific phone there exist companies that will do it, right now. Even high-end hardware security modules are not rated against a competent attacker with unlimited resources, in physical control of the module, who can attack it destructively. In fact, they must largely know there isn't any really important evidence on the phone so they have time to play these games.
