This is exactly the shit the founding fathers were against

and for a reason
Eventually public opinion will turn against Apple, so its going to be unlocked at some point regardless.
They could just wipe it too to spite them.

The public's opinion being against the public's privacy
it'd be fucking grim if this were the case
Still playing the terrorism card to scare people into giving up privacy for security. I prefer the government not have the ability to break encryption. You negate the entire purpose of security when you just allow 1 backdoor open.

Eventually the whole talk of 'national security' will begin to wear everyone down, and if a similar situation arises then the need to break apple encryption increases.
No one wants the government to have the ability to break encryption, the problem is it will happen anyway and people will accept that, no matter how much they hate it.

The whole trading privacy/freedoms for a sense of security hasn't really been wittling down people that much in the last decade they've really been going at it. Its just been stagnant now because it gets to be a really touchy subject, til they hit something like this special little iPhone. Then the subject is fed more fuel, and the fire roars again.
The government could probably crack it with enough computational power, but even that would take some time to do. Just hopefully it doesn't come to the point where the government can easily just unlock a device to gather its information.

It's a good thing the public isn't directly involved in the judicial process, then. It's all congress and higher courts.
I kind of wish Justice Scalia were still around for this, he'd shoot the FBI down and kick them out of his court if they tried to pull this crap.
