I have no problem with the FBI breaking into one phone that they have both a warrant for and have in their physical possession. That is how it's supposed to work. I did, however, have problems with several other issues around this case (none of these have really gone away, only been postponed for now): 1. The FBI potentially being able to force a company to assist and do work for an investigation, as well as betray the privacy of its users 2. The government moving, partially based on this case, to force vendors to create back doors for everything, weakening security and privacy for everyone 3. The slippery slope that all of this would create
