Apple addressing security concerns.

Riddle me this. If terrorists or criminals utilize these encryption tools to hide their activities, and successfully plan attacks, human trafficking, child abuse, drug smuggling, illicit arms deals, or whatever, are you going to blame the government or Apple for any bad consequences?

I can understand the public having mistrust of governmental intrusion, abuse, or failings. I do NOT understand why one would trust a profit-driven corporation more.

If a terrorist drives a Ford Escort to the Superbowl and sets off a nuclear bomb, do you plan to sue Ford?

Clone the drive.
Burn lots of copies. 1000 phones gives you 10,000 tries.
Make your ten tries.
Rotate copies to be reburned.
This could be automated. Really fast if there is an emulator.
No need for a hack.
I'll do this for them for less than $350,000,000.00.
