Apple's Tim Cook: 'There is no backdoor. The government doesn't have access to our servers'

5. Well, THAT's a relief!!!

That means they shouldn't come knocking on our door for some stupid questions my son was asking Siri on his first phone. Both hubby and I heard him and were like "WHAT?". He was watching "Ghost Hunters" at the time and asked Siri if the video could be used as a thermal device. He meant "thermal imaging device" -- to photograph ghosts or detector to sense ghost energy or something. He got a weird message indicating that such info had been removed from the server.

Freaked us all out. He was almost crying when we told him that if the NSA visits him at school and calls him down to the principals office, maybe Verizon would be able to show them his history of watching Ghost Hunters, and Apple could give them a list of his totally dumb questions he's asked the phone since he got it, and they'll see he was just being a dufus.

Of course, we did get a weird call from the local police last night asking for a donation for their Fallen officer's and Victim's Assistance fund. I thought it was weird because they said they would have a local officer come to the house to pick it up rather than us mailing it in this time. I told them "Sorry, can't do a donation unless I can mail it in the form of a check." He did agree to that. Hmmmmm....
