(10,201 posts)No matter how much of the bill of rights we toss into the shredder, there will always be the possibility of a rogue attack.
The FBI is indeed asking for a back door. They are specifically looking for a way around (back door) Apple's security that will allow them to brute force password attempts. This way around will be figured out by criminal enterprises. That's their job. Once the hole is found in the security, it will not be long before criminal enterprises figure out how to circumvent it without the physical phone.
We cannot get into one phone, so now we want to open up 10's of millions of phones to a security risk.
My tolerance of risk is simple. Would willfully opening up the security of 10's of millions of phones be worth the security risk of not being able to unlock one phone?
If you open up a phone with a method for security to be bypassed, there is no such thing as ZERO RISK.
