In this case, a man named Syed Farook, killed and injured several people, including his wife. The FBI believes that accessing information from his phone may be able to help them with their case.

In court, the FBI fights that the law requires businesses not involved in the case, have to execute court orders.…

    Some have tried to claim that it was dubious as to whether it was even possible for Apple to create a piece of software that performed what the FBI was demanding. This is a much more logically consistent counter argument because one cannot do the impossible, but the counter argument can be refuted via induction. Apple could automatically update iPhones without permission (Landau 1398). Apple has automatically updated iPhones without permission in the past (Landau 1398), and so Apple could do so again to install this back door. Also, based on the research lead by Dr. Choi (an expert in computer engineering), updates to the firmware of the smart phone could be utilized to create a back door program (39).…

    Since the government is invading our privacy it’s like having them watching our every move and constantly looking through our photo’s, Facebook messages, and text messages. For example when the FBI wanted Apple to unlock a terrorist phone so that they could look at the text messages. Apple informed the FBI that if they unlock that phone then they would be forced to unlock all of the phones. If they did this then hackers or the government could get a hold of something they don't need to know about. The government need to stop invading our privacy because if something gets leaked it could cost the government a lot of money or ruin someone’s life.…

    9/11 Security Issues

    For those unfamiliar, the FBI recently was found to have hired some of Best Buy's Geek Squad technicians as paid informants to track down and eliminate child pornography. For most this issue is pretty cut and dry; if the FBI wants to hunt child abuse/pornography then let them. But when you examine the consequences of this FBI policy you realize that there are a couple of constitutionally-questionable practices that compromises the integrity of what the FBI says they are trying to accomplish. For example, there was a case of a surgeon out of California who brought in his computer to Geek Squad for repairs. An employee ended up alerting the FBI after finding an image on the guys computer, but when brought to court to prosecute the judge threw out all charges because the FBI obtained this information without obtaining a warrant.…

    Apple and the FBI are in a dispute over whether or not Apple should unlock one of the San Bernardino shooters phones in order to obtain personal records regarding potential terrorist activity. Apple believes they should not have to disclose this information and unlock the phone because it violates their “terms and agreements”. However, the FBI thinks Apple should unlock the phone because it will let them retain vital and personal information about the shooters. According to CNN writer Mike Rodgers, “The FBI was unable to access the encrypted smartphone to map the terrorist's connections to ISIS…” The FBI asked apple for help but they refused.…

    By reading “The Patriot Act,” it mentions “… the U.S. Constitution protects the rights of the people to be secure in their persons, house papers, and effects against unreasonable searches.” In addition to that, law enforcement officers get warrants before searching a person’s home because they need consent from a judge and probable cause that an item is evidence. Before heavy surveillance, agents would listen in on wired tapes for committed crimes or an investigation. “ The Act enabled investigators to gather information when looking into full range of terrorism-related crimes including: chemical-weapon offenses, the use of weapons of mass destruction, killing Americans abroad, and terrorism financing,” cited from the article “ Department of Justice.” If the FBI believes that any U.S. citizen is involved in any terrorist acts, these agents will listen in on that person and try to get any possible evidence to stop them.…

    On June 6th, 2013 The Guardian and the Washington Post revealed the fact that the NSA had access to customer information on Apple, Microsoft, and Google computer products. The information obtained by the NSA was allegedly used to prevent any terrorist actions. However, the NSA has “[built] up a store of information on millions of US citizens, regardless of whether or not they are ‘persons of interest’ to the agency” (Brown). Although terrorist plots are a legitimate threat to America, the U.S government has overstepped its boundaries by violating the citizen’s of America’s fourth amendment right to privacy.…

    The current Apple case doesn’t involve a backdoor in the traditional sense. The FBI is asking Apple to create a tool that would circumvent a feature that deletes all of the information on the phone after 10 failed password attempts. Apple doesn’t want to break anyone’s encryption or set a master key loose on the land. Also, the authority over the master key that Apple would grant the FBI could be used again across a range of scenarios that weaken Apple’s privacy and security as well. 5.…
