I'm so glad that our government is financing hackers to crack our phones. That might be as bad as the act of terrorism itself.

Let's face it the powers that be will always try to access as much private data as it can...it's about control. At least in the US you are told at least some of what's going on. By crook or by crook !

I wouldn't go as far as saying that what the government did is as bad as mass murdering innocent people but I do think it's rather shameful, especially if the FBI doesn't tell Apple how they did it.
