New FBI Director James Comey, U.S. President
Barack Obama and former FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
has hauled Apple into court, over their refusal to unlock
the iPhone 5 belonging to one of the San Bernardino
terrorists, who killed 17 people at a community center in
California (14 Dead And 17 Wounded In Shooting By 3 Jihadis At A California
Disability Center). Apple is resisting, as the tech company states
it will lead to more requests from the FBI, which will lead
to mass spying on the American people and international
citizens.
While it would be great for the phone to be
unlocked to aid in the case of compiling a report on the
matter, the terrorists are dead. Therefore, no prosecution
is at stake. What Apple is concerned about is the FBI's
reputation. As the phrase goes, "Give them an inch and they
will take a mile." Once the FBI gets a foothold, they will
keep imposing and perversely go further each time.
Furthermore, the FBI does not need Apple to unlock the
phone. Others have unlocked iPhones. The FBI just wants to
illegally control Apple in a bid to further spy on the
masses. They are grossly overstepping their congressional
mandate. It is arrogant, out of order and totalitarian in
nature.
The FBI, NSA and CIA are always looking for
ways to illegally spy on people. It is ingrained at the
agencies. The FBI, NSA and CIA are always looking for people
and companies to conscript into invasive, illegal activity.
All this illegal spying the FBI, NSA and CIA have been
engaging in has not stopped any act of terrorism. It is
being done for reasons that are politically and financially
motivated. It has nothing to do with national security.
