AG Barr Seeks 'Legislative Solution' To Make Companies Unlock Phones
stikves shares a report from Engadget: Last December, a Saudi Arabian cadet training with the U.S. military opened fire at Naval Air Station Pensacola, killing three soldiers and wounding eight others. The FBI recovered two iPhones, and after failing to access their data, asked Apple to unlock them. The company refused, but eventually the FBI unlocked at least one of them without Apple's help, and discovered substantial ties between the shooter and terrorist group al Qaeda. U.S. Attorney General Barr suggests forcing Apple to take action in the future, saying "...if not for our FBI's ingenuity, some luck, and hours upon hours of time and resources, this information would have remained undiscovered. The bottom line: our national security cannot remain in the hands of big corporations who put dollars over lawful access and public safety. The time has come for a legislative solution."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
