Sure the case isn&#x27;t perfect, but is it ever going to be, given that the government can choose it?<p>The details of this case, however, aren&#x27;t too detrimental. Basically, a couple buys guns, goes next door and starts shooting. It&#x27;s then a terrorism case, because... well their name sounds arabic and possibly the guy visited some internet pages.<p>For me, this case only demonstrates that if you make guns available for purchase in every supermarket, chances are that one day a mental person wakes up, buys one and just starts shooting. And there&#x27;s really not very much you can do about that. But there isn&#x27;t a smoking gun hidden here that would somehow make a strong emotional argument towards compelling Apple to decrypt the phone of a dead guy.
