Interesting... the FBI could ask or already have a backdoor provided by Apple.

  It makes me wonder if downloading this app gives the FBI a ready made backdoor into your iPhone. (not sure if that's even possible with the iOS infrastructure)

    Apple scans apps, code, as does Google. But what if an Apple employee works for the FBI? Large firms are known to have moles in them, both from competitors, and from government.

      What if just one employee works for the FBI? We don't need to guess about that sort of stuff, supposedly Apple has complied with PRISM for nearly a decade now. I'd bet there's a lot more than just one US intelligence officer working at Apple.

    Apple would have to be complicit. And at that point, why tie it to an app that almost nobody will download? Just build it into iOS/iCloud and call it a day.
