1. You gotta be shitting me!?

Who could have ever thought Apple of all companies would be fighting to keep the FBI from having another tool in their ever continuing failure ie War on the Working Class.

2. Apple has been fighting for tougher security ever since the Snowden disclosures. I read a while

back that Apple had fired several IOS programers that used to work for the feds that had worked on the are of code that allowed a buffer overflow and allowed access to the system. I would think that they would not be hiring anyone again that worked even as a janitor in a federal building.

3. Good point, no telling how many moles work at Microsoft and Apple.

Then again, one can wonder how many moles work for the FBI/CIA/NSA as well. Wouldn't that be some shit to find out corporations plant their own moles into the intelligence system?

4. It would be smart. but I think the feds get regular polygraphs.

5. There are ways around a polygraph.

Wording can get you out of one of those tests no matter what they ask you.

6. Yep, used to lie my ass off and pass them. Apple got really paranoid when Eric Schmidt was

on the board of Apple and then Google came out with their own phone.
