Former CIA director calls out the FBI for wanting to fundamentally change the iPhone
former CIA chief James Woolsey recently explained in an interview on CNBC that the FBI in this case isn’t just interested in accessing information on this particular iPhone. On the contrary, Woolsey articulated that the FBI is looking for the ability to effectively dictate what type of mobile OS Apple is able to release for the iPhone.
“The last time I looked into the language on this with some care, it did seem to me as if the FBI was trying to get a right essentially to effectively decide what kind of an operating system Apple was going to have, and that they were not just trying to get into one phone,” Woolsey said. “They were trying to change some important aspect of Apple’s operating system… The agency should not have the right to restructure Apple’s iOS in perpetuity.”
