Yes. I just read up on what the secure enclave actually is. It's an entirely new beast of security.

A phone of a drug dealer? This even less justified than the San Bernadino phone. Let's hope the war on terror goes better than the war on drugs, hmm?
Genius! Apple subliminally recruiting the Obama Gubmint and the FBI to force users to upgrade their iPhones.
Next phase…… Apple will "subliminally" convince Kim Jong Donkey-Kong to nuke (Seoul) South Korea, therefore instantly annihilating the entire Samsung HQ, instantly eradicating an industry rival. Brilliant!
Infractions are not criminal offenses in vast majority of jurisdictions; actions that violate laws are not automatically criminal.
Obama Gubmint??? Please tell me you are not under the illusion that this would not happen under any other president?
You get it. Mass surveillance has always had the goal of suppressing political dissent. The "extreme" cases are ment to get an agreement for the usage to abuse it later.
"Just one phone"
Seriously though, this sets a dangerous precedent. Before you know it, Apple will be ordered to remove the secure enclave on their phones.
Last time the FBI said they changed the iCloud password so the backups couldn't be retrieved. I wonder what the excuse will be this time.
Well, I sure hope the U.S. Senate and the FBI have the power to keep all 3rd party end to end encryption apps - regardless of country developed in - off everyones phones or all this will do is make those who can afford the app secure and literally no one else. Smooth move.
I'd call them a bunch of clowns, but that would be an insult to clowns.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I simply do not understand how any American cannot see this as modern McCarthyism.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" --George Santayana
There were plenty of people who supported McCarthy too...
"Are you a Japanese-American? Then you have nothing to worry about"
"Are you a Jew? Then you have nothing to worry about"
"Are you a communist? Then you have nothing to worry about"
"Are you a homosexual? Then you have nothing to worry about"

Is that auto-correct or a term I don't yet know?
[doublepost=1460160552][/doublepost]
Too true.
And yet there seems to be a simple explanation for the rise and fall of McCarthyism, one (erroneously) attributed to Sir Winston Churchill, by the way:
"Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing… after they have exhausted all other possibilities."
The rise and—hopefully—fall of Trumpism lend further credence to said explanation.
It's called zionism. The meme of the privileged super elite vs. the dumb slaves.
Who says government can do anything with a "valid ticket" from an authority which is also part of government? Should court be completely independent from government? And government cannot stand above law too, right?
And as citizens goes stronger, government start fearing citizens one day would turn against them. Remember how terrorist be defined as "terrorist"? They take actions so that innocents feel fear about it. Fear would lead to the intention to protect themselves. If everyone is strong enough, why we still need to fear terrorists? Where the fear comes from? Just like my dad says: "nowadays people are becoming more fragile and cannot even sustain a little bit of loss or sorrow". I still believe what terrorist does has successfully created fear among us, which is why they exist.
We all need to be stronger than before.

Dont you guys realize? The FBI is doing this to keep Americans safe. I mean in the end, the American taxpayers are still paying the FBI, thus authorizing and sponsoring their actions.
Sooner or later, American voters need to take accountability of the kind of system and government they voted for. Whining doesn't do anything.

On the update:
Update: In Massachusetts, Apple has been ordered to help the FBI gain access to data on an iPhone belonging to a Boston gang member accused of shooting a rival gang member.
Is that guy still alive? If so, ask him first.
