They know who they were communicating with. They know what websites they were on. What are they allegedly looking for? And by the way, we should probably stop calling them terrorists. They might have thought they had a cause, but so did the OKC bombers, and that's what we call them: "bombers". Stop saying that unlocking this phone is about terrorism. -- Drew

The Feds have been pushing its envelope for a while and have drawn some pretty stiff rebukes for the overreach. Terrierists!!!1!2 seems to have been the perfect cover to make this push stick. (Ironically, wasn't abuse of Writs of Assistance one of the reasons behind the American Revolution?)

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov
