Why Is Apple Protecting The 2 Muslim Terrorists Who Killed 14 Americans Last Year?
Apple is fighting the FBI over a court order requiring the tech giant to unlock a terrorist’s iPhone — but it appears the company had no problem breaking into at least 70 other protected smartphones.
Dozens of other times, Apple had no problem at all complying with judges orders to unlock iPhones of suspected criminals. So why all of a sudden is Apple refusing to comply? Could it be because the phones in question belong to 2 Islamic terrorists Syed Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik who gunned down 14 innocent people at a Christmas party last year? Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Apple refuses court order to unlock IPhone of San Bernardino Muslim terrorists:
The California-based tech giant Apple unlocked dozens of iPhones at federal investigators’ requests between 2008 and 2015, a prosecutor argued last year. The October refusal bewildered New York prosecutors, who claimed the iPhone maker “complied” with at least 70 other requests to unlock suspects’ phones, Motherboard reported at the time. Each request was made under the All Writs Act, a 1789 statute that grants federal courts broad power to issue “necessary or appropriate” writs.
“Apple had an established procedure to routinely take any of these requests, comply with them, processing them,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Saritha Komatireddy said in court.
In defending its refusal, Apple said unlocking a secure phone would undermine its customers’ trust
“Apple is saying it does not want to do this. It does not want to be in the business of being a method by which customer data is disclosed,” an Apple lawyer said.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym issued an All Writs Act for the Farook case on Tuesday without giving Apple a chance to respond.
She ordered Apple to create a software that would allow investigators into Farook’s phone, which may contain information about his Dec. 2 shooting spree that left 14 people dead. Farook and his co-shooter, his wife, were killed in a gun battle with cops after the attack.
Shortly after the demand, Cook broadcast its objections to the order in a fiery letter to customers. The CEO cited privacy concerns as his chief complaint against the demand — and he did not mention any of the previous 70 court-ordered unlockings. source

I don’t think you are quite grasping the situation here at all.
Apple is not out to protect the couple at all. That is not the
issue and it is really funny how you jumped to that conclusion
from their actions.
On one of the morning talk shows last year, the CEO form Blackberry
was asked about being asked to do the same thing as Apple is being
asked now to do. He stated in short, that even they have no way to
break into the encryption on their own product. The I phones are built
in the same way now, and even Apple cannot break into a randomly
generated encryption. So they are being asked to do something, that
as of right now can’t be done. They are designed to be totally secure
so that no one at Apple can snoop on your phone, (or Blackberry either).
As Apple is saying, that once they were to open that can of worms to
look into 2 people’s phones, that everyone’s phones will then be able
to be compromised from that moment on (if they could even develop it
at all).. So in other words, because 2 people commit the crime, you
are willing to give up the security of millions of American’s phones?
What a huge loss of yet another liberty because of 2 people?
Wow, really? If you are so willing to give up your rights, the
bad guys have won the battle. The loss of your privacy is then
lost, over 2 people? Grow a pair and deal with it.
