Ban Apple products from the country? I see that going over *real well*.

But please proceed....

Also, fuck Steve Bannon.

You’re absolutely right! We’ll go ahead and unlock Trump’s phone for law enforcement.

Complete with a henchman in the wings completing the threat.

The pResident is a menace to the American people, and the dollar.

or civil liberties.

The fact that CNBC treats this guy with any credibility is very troubling.

The con and all his minions must be taken out form politics, they need to make Moscow their permanent residence, although I doubt that Putin will want them to live there.

They get no cooperation.

But not to worry. The filthy rich who own most of Apple, will enable and support all Russian mob lovers.

America is operating for Russian mobster shorty Putin.

Especially his 'enemies'. He's so small.

Also, fuck that POS Bannon.

Just make an Executive Order, Donald.

Is this a threat?

Now Trump wants Apple to tell them how to unlock password-protected iPhones. Via a threat from Steve Bannon?

Maybe the shooter's iPhones are warranted but where would it stop with my iPhone, your iPhone or in this case Lev Parnas' iPhone.

We are supposed to trust Trump and Barr with that technology. We are stupider than I think.

What would happen to Apple iPhone sales if customers knew that two rogue government officials had that technology? Barr and Trump cannot be trusted.

This is exactly the reason Barr's behavior has destroyed the confidence Americans need to have with the DOJ, FBI, and POTUS.

Is Trump still using his unsecured iPhone for government business?

When are we going to get Trump's tax returns maybe there is information in there that would show he has links to a terrorist.

Israeli company claims it can unlock any iPhone up to iOS 12.3 for police.

Guess the small fingered Vulgarian wants it for free.

They want to monitor in the future any American who espouses any anti-Trump policies, elected Democratic officials too. Sounds like Geo. Orwell's 1984 redux!

I see an iPhone (or equivalent) as being a mini safe holding a treasure trove of valuable (or otherwise) data. Asking Apple to unlock an iPhone is like asking a safe manufacturer to open a safe with some kind of magic "master key".

It’s called a drill. Any locksmith can open a safe by drilling through the lock.

iPhones, OTOH, are much more secure.

Any security back-doors that the government can use are also usable by the Bad Guys.

Go drink another fifth of booze and shut the fuck up.

The DOJ under Obama and even before him were screaming about encrpytion on phones and other systems. They don't like that they can't get into something so they are bound and determined to weaken encryption.

I kind of doubt it. This will be HQ humor for at least a week.
