The idea of one way or the other is freaky,the day the lid blows off and everything we do,say or think is available for anyone to read,will be the day I run into the woods and become a hairy gorilla. No one needs to be tormented by the twisted things going on in my head and I would have to do to much explaining.
Could it be that Apple has already bowed down and this is just a publicity stunt to keep shares from dropping?

It's not really possible... to create a backdoor that only FBI can use, and hackers will never access...
Either you have no door, and nobody has access... or you add a backdoor, and EVERYONE has access to your personal data...
There is not middle ground... either you have 100% privacy or 0% privacy... those are the only options...
I vote for 100% privacy... and if that means the FBI needs to find actual evidence beyond a text message on a cell-phone... so be it... get some fucking evidence then... find the actual bomb, not a picture of a bomb... do your job!
Police have done their job for hundreds of years without needing cell-phone data... why do they need it now?

Something I can not get around is the order of deviation he uses to make his case. He states child pornographer before terrorist and it opens up a mushroom in my head that makes me think he using rhetoric to push a agenda like Trayvon could have been me or my son! These questions they pose are never just suggestions but a way to lead the sheep towards thinking its ok to have big brother breathing down your neck for the greater good.
Obama makes case for access to device data
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday made a passionate case for mobile devices to be built in such a way as to allow government to gain access to personal data if needed to prevent a terrorist attack or enforce tax laws.
Speaking at the South by Southwest festival in Texas, Obama said he could not comment on the legal case in which the FBI is trying to force Apple Inc. to allow access to an iPhone linked to San Bernardino, California, shooter Rizwan Farook.
But he made clear that, despite his commitment to Americans' privacy and civil liberties, a balance was needed to allow some intrusion when needed.
"The question we now have to ask is: If technologically it is possible to make an impenetrable device or system where the encryption is so strong that there is no key, there's no door at all, then how do we apprehend the child pornographer, how do we solve or disrupt a terrorist plot?" he said.
"What mechanisms do we have available to even do simple things like tax enforcement because if in fact you can't crack that at all, government can't get in, then everybody is walking around with a Swiss bank account in their pocket."
The Justice Department has sought to frame the Apple case as one not about undermining encryption. A U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation court order issued to Apple targets a non-encryption barrier on one iPhone.
The FBI says Farook and his wife were inspired by Islamist militants when they shot and killed 14 people on Dec. 2 at a holiday party in California. The couple later died in a shootout with police.
"Setting aside the specific case between the FBI and Apple, ... we’re going to have to make some decisions about how do we balance these respective risks," Obama said.
"My conclusion so far is you cannot take an absolutist view."
Obama was speaking at the South by Southwest festival in Austin about how government and technology companies can work together to solve problems including making it easier for people to vote.

Apple and google should be happy of their huge investment in this fraud for years, instead of crying now.
Far more good can come from truly secure systems, than the minor amount of attacks the government might be able to stop with a backdoor.
The President frames the debate upon the assumption that what is at issue is a individual rights vs government efficacy; this avoids acknowledging the promise of Bitcoin and any other truly secure system.
