I think this whole dialogue is fucked:
One kills people (gun), one connects people (phone).
One shutdown pre-emptively (gun) prevents deaths (ostensibly) -- the other reveals the plans of the killers.
I do not have a more appropriate analogy, but I feel that the government has NO FUCKING RIGHT to ask apple to do what they are doing in a supposed free-market capitalist state.
These are the acts of tyrannical/dictatorial states.
So fuck the government in this case. no WAY should apple comply.
