IT'S A "STICKY WICKET"........

.........AS THE BRITS WOULD SAY.....THIS APPLE PHONE ENCRYPTION FIGHT
WITH THE FBI, NATIONAL SECURITY vs PRIVACY......NORMALLY, I WOULD
CHOOSE SECURITY HANDS DOWN BECAUSE DEAD MEN HAVE NO NEED OF
PRIVACY, BUT 10's OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE USE THEIR
PHONES TO DEPOSIT CHECKS, TRANSFER MONEY TO AND FROM
ACCOUNTS.....THEY USE THEIR PHONES TO PAY FOR FOOD AND OTHER
PURCHASES BY PASSING THEIR PHONES OVER A "READER".....THERE IS
A WHOLE LOT OF PRIVACY AT STAKE HERE...10's OF BILLIONS WORTH,
ALSO PHONE SALES, STOCK PRICES AND CONSUMER TRUST IN APPLE....

YEP, THIS IS A TOUGH ONE....NO ONE IS NIEVE ENOUGH TO BELIEVE
THAT THE GOVERNMENT (FBI) WON'T USE THE ABILITY TO BREAK PHONE
ENCRYPTIONS AT THEIR WHIM....IN THE NAME OF TERRORISM, NATIONAL
SECURITY OF COURSE (WINK, WINK).........ESPECIALLY WITH A SNAKE
LIKE OBAMA IN CHARGE....AND I'M CONFIDENT THAT NOT ONE DEMOCRAT
POLITICIAN OR MOST DEMOCRAT VOTERS WOULD TRUST A REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENT WITH THAT POWER....

REMEMBER, AS MAYOR ROHM EMMANUAL (CHICAGO) FAMOUSLY SAID
AT THE BEGINNING OF OBAMAS TERM IN OFFICE; "YOU NEVER LET A
GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE....."

MAN OH MAN, THIS IS SOLOMON DIVIDING THE BABY!!!
