I'm confused . . . .

These terrorists (I am happy to call them that) apparently destroyed or otherwise got rid of their personal phones and hard drives etc as stated by the FBI.

Are they then considered to be clever enough to get rid of the stuff that could help the FBI but stupid enough to leave behind one phone, a work phone that would hold anything useful ?

Surely this is a waste of time fishing exercise so that the FBI, local and state police, dog catcher etc can go to court in the future on a case the public wont support them on so strongly and be able to say its possible, its already been done, precedent has been set, break the phone encryption now. Not forgetting foreign governments demanding it as the cost of selling in their country.

This must be stopped now as it doesn't matter to the result of the case being investigated but will to the future freedom of people everywhere.
