Better be rooting for AAPL on this one, only fools don't see whats a stake. I agree. This issue is an instance where (most) conservatives and libertarians part ways. I don't care for and have never owned Apple products, iThingies, Macs, whatever, but I fully support their stance against the government trying to force them to disable their encryption software. Privacy matters much more to me than what a couple of dead Muslim scumbags talked about on their phone. Give the government the master key to break encryption, which is what they're after, and Big Brother can tap into your privacy at any time.
