I'm conflicted as well.  If there's some info on there that could lead to finding other terrorists and maybe save lives, I'm all for getting at it.  I don't like living in a world where we have to make choices between providing different kinds of bad guys another way to hurt us (by stealing phones or hacking info) or possibly contributing to other needless deaths. smiley: frown I tend toward believing that saving lives is more important (and that maybe we shouldn't put sensitive info on our phones.)

Also, stealing phones is already a big industry.   What do the thieves do when they steal a password protected iPhone? Just wipe it, reset the phone and sell it?
