Take that, N.S.A.

The iPhone 6 allows users to encrypt emails, photos, and contacts based on a mathematical algorithm using a code created by the phone’s user.  Apple will not have access, and N.S.A. won’t either.

First of all, I don’t know what an algorithm is, and secondly, I don’t have an iPhone.  Nonetheless, I do know a thing or two about government overreach, the right to privacy, and the erosion of our freedoms.  

Thank you Mr. Snowden.  Thank you Apple.  And goodbye Attorney General Holder.

Of course the F.B.I says Apple will be aiding terrorists.  So does the requirement for a search warrant to enter someone’s home.  So does freedom of the press.  And free speech.  And the 14th’s guarantee of equal protection of the law.  

You don’t fight tyranny by imposing it.
