Ooooh, pathogen, scary!

In that case they'd better be extra-careful about keeping it in a Faraday cage, never turn it on or analyze it, and maybe they should just completely destroy it rather than risk infecting anything else with this super-advanced cyber pathogen. Oh, they're not doing that? Ah, right, that's because it's just BS to bolster their argument that Apple should help them get access to the data on the phone.


This is Cyberdyne Systems Terminator chip level scary! </s>

Sad that politicians pull this Think of the Children BS when they can't subvert everyone else's privacy on a whim.


The local San Bernardino CSI department surely has a strange-haired hacker on staff that can type so quickly no cyber pathogen can withstand the onslaught. Problem solved.
