> I am a terrorist, and am apprehended at JFK with my iPhone. On my iPhone, there is the contact details of my co-conspirators, already in the US and already with AK-47s ready to shoot up a primary school.
Maybe you watched too much 24, but that's just not how these scenarios have played out. You're making the same mistake people make when they imagine hacking being like they show it in the movies: if the good guy can just type fast enough, he can get around the bad guy's defenses, blah, blah, blah. But that's not how it's done, is it? Which makes this a strawman argument.
- einarvollset 11y agoMy point is not a strawman argument - if it was so, then you'd have to prove that nobody is arguing that the govt accessing the information on terrorists phones would be helpful in countering terrorism. The case in point proves this not to be so. Also, your condescending tone does not help your argument, does it?
