#1 Me thinks someone in this terrorist activity food chain was an FBI "informant" who played the FBI like a bongo drum before pulling the trigger.

The FBI is trying to cover their tracks and finger prints on this one.

#2 If I wanted information off that phone, I would know where to look for such support. The FBI does not know how to get information off a phone they don't need with a Company that is willing to take this to Congress.

Apple is correct.

FBI got's splanin to do.

#3 To get a new update on my iPhone or iPad I have to go in and approve the upgrade to be downloaded and installed. Is apple going to *force* the phone to take the update somehow without requiring user approval? Will this be done on all iPhones?

#4 This is not an update. This is a crack .

Not needed, dangerous.

#5 Most likely, the interesting bits are not the cat pix and selfies on the phone, but rather the call detail records of who called who when. The phone carrier already has this info.

#7 Meanwhile, JOHN MCAFEE: I'll decrypt the San Bernardino phone free of charge so Apple doesn't need to place a back door on its product
