Is the DEA Lying About iMessage Security?
First time accepted submitter snobody writes "Recently, an article was posted on Slashdot about the claim that law enforcement made about being frustrated by their inability to decrypt messages using Apple's iMessage. However, this article on Techdirt suggests that the DEA may be spewing out disinformation. As the Techdirt article says, if you switch to a new iDevice, you still are able to access your old iMessages, suggesting that Apple has the key somewhere in the cloud. Thus, if law enforcement goes directly to Apple, they should be able to get the key."

The DEA lies about everything else.

The very fact that the DEA exists is an affront to personal liberty;
Really? How so?
We have decades of detailed records of them spreading falsehoods, destroying families, in general doing far more harm than drugs ever did or ever could.
We do? Where?
Look. I am not apologizing for the failed "war on drugs", but you are making a lot of bold, and as of yet unfounded, assertions about the DEA. That's not exactly contributing to needed rational discourse about the matter. It damn sure isn't proving a thing about collusion between government enforcers and (in this case) Apple. Not that there's much doubt, but let's at least try to not sound so much like Fox News. M'kay?
I rode motorcycles for over 45 years. The dangers of motorcycles are many and only a fool would argue that motorcycles are not dangerous.
So what, you may say. Well I have seen more drug addicts in life and death emergencies on the streets and sidewalks than I ever seen seen motorcyclists in critical condition. In other words even forgetting disease and subtle losses it is obvious that the use of drugs is far more dangerous that riding motorcycles. I may add that I live in a climate in which we can ride every day of the year normally.
The carnage of drug use is not trivial at all. And some jump sitting behind bars for a few years is trivial to what i have seen dope do to people. And it is not just the users either. It is their kids, their families and the entire town that suffers. And I can tell you that I would eagerly throw away the key and keep a person in a cell for life rather than suffer the risk of having them drive near me in traffic and I do include drunks in that as well. I can tell you flat out that addicts will look at a judge and plead innocence claiming the dope made them do it. You know the drill. "I just had a relapse and fell of the wagon for a couple of days. You can't blame me for being sick.".
