FBI couldn't get into WaPo reporter's iPhone because Lockdown Mode enabled

Also, I don't get how the situation with your home internet connection changes much. Your ISP knows exactly where you are because your house doesn't move.

Apple does it different(ly), and I'd argue more securely. Being able to specify the full chain of hardware, firmware, and software always has its advantages.

Apple's fingerprint readers do not perform authentication locally -- instead the data read from the sensor (or derivatives thereof) is compared to a reference which is stored in the secure enclave in the Apple silicon (Ax Tx or Mx) of the Mac or iOS device itself.

I've committed no atrocities. Going to guess that you've committed no atrocities. What atrocities did occur, most of those who committed those are dead, the rest are senile in nursing homes. I have no guilt and certainly feel no guilt for those events.

>it's a useful soft power strategy.

Sure, if you're some sort of tyrant. I thought the left was against colonialism... but you guys really just one a more clever, subtle colonialism eh? Figures.

>I'm saying of all the insane things our government wastes money on, USAID was far down on the list of most egregious.

What you're saying is that no cuts can or should be made, unless they are your favorite cuts first. And maybe after you get those, no others need be made at all.

Unless that's already established in your circuit you're counting on the court agreeing with your interpretation because the cops/courts certainly think they can compel that.

All I'm doing is cautioning you and anyone else reading against DIY legal interpretations. Have a lawyer.

>During the execution of the search of HANNAH NATANSON as described in Attachment A-3, law enforcement personnel are authorized to (1) press or swipe the fingers (including thumbs) of HANNAH NATANSON to the fingerprint scanner of the device; (2) hold a device found during the search in front of the face of HANNAH NATANSON and activate the facial recognition feature, for the purpose of attempting to unlock the device in order to search the contents as authorized by this warrant.

>While attempting to unlock the device by use of the compelled display of biometric characteristics pursuant to this warrant, law enforcement is not authorized to demand that an occupant state or otherwise provide the password or identify the specific biometric characteristics (including the unique fingers) or other physical features), that may be used to unlock or access the device(s). Nor does the warrant authorize law enforcement to use the fact that the warrant allows law enforcement to obtain the display of any biometric characteristics to compel an occupant to state or otherwise provide that information. However, the voluntary disclosure of such information by an occupant is permitted. To avoid confusion on that point, if agents in executing the warrant ask an occupant for the password to any device(s), or to identify which biometric characteristic (including the unique fingers) or other physical features) unlocks any device(s), the agents will not state or otherwise imply that the warrant requires the person to provide such information, and will make clear that providing any such information is voluntary and that the person is free to refuse the request.
