possibly probably the one tech issue that will affect each and every one of us for years to come!
San Bernardino Attack
On December 2, 2015, 14 people were killed and 22 seriously injured in what can best be described as a terrorist attack perpetrated by Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik. In the aftermath of the attack authorities found Farook’s iPhone, but were allegedly unable to retrieve any evidence from the device because it was locked and the contents encrypted.
From that point it gets complicated with technical terms and Government agency acronyms being thrown around like rice at a wedding. Suffice to say this topic would take me weeks to cover and would deserve volumes of text rivaling War and Peace.
The iPhone encryption case explained
Lucky for me us John Oliver of Last Week Tonight on HBO has already done an excellent, and a bit salty, job of explaining the circumstances and technology behind the case and the possible repercussions if Apple abides by the court order.

Hi Dave, your video won’t upload here in the UK.
From both your site and the hbo.com site, I get the following message:
“The uploader has not made this video available in your country.”
However, I can get outhe videos from the HBO site.
Spooky or what?
Hmmmmm. Must be the government! 🙂
Apple just need to give aid on the criminals that are deem proven to be criminals.
I bet if a criminal has data that can implicate a bomb will go off in a week, and Apple takes 2 weeks to give the government allowance…thanks for the help, Apple.
Loved the video Dave. I stand with Apple, since the Government (any) just cannot be trusted. Harsh words, but until you experience for yourself a snafu with the Bureaucratic machine, you’ll believe whatever they tell you, Mindblower!
If the hack already exists, and it very well may, turn the phone over to Apple and unlock it for the feds. If there is no hack, one shouldn’t be engineered.
Hang in there, Apple!
