Kare, whole heartedly agree. Bringing this back on topic, we all remember Trump railing against Apple because Apple was protecting our 4th amendment protections. This is another example of what you speak but relates to the topic of the list. Trump felt that it was Apple’s duty to crack open iPhones at will for the government 4th amendment be damned. Luckily Mr. Cook held his ground but unluckily, the Israel based intelligence services and supporting companies provided our Government a means. Apple I believe has been tightening up things since so hopefully that whole is plugged. Both major parties have no respect for the constitution. I believe both Trump and Hilary both use constitution toilet paper just different parts each.
