How Apple could easily backdoor iMessage for the FBI (without you knowing it)

Yesterday's New York Times carried a story entitled "Apple and other tech companies tangle with U.S. over data access". It's a vague headline that manages to obscure the real thrust of the story, which is that according to reporters at the Times, Apple has not been forced to backdoor their popular encrypted iMessage system. This flies in the face of some rumors to the contrary.

I don't think I use any of the features on my smartphone. All I do is call people and occasionally send texts.

If you don't use any apps you would be better off with a simple phone.

Battery life, size, privacy, etc...

Unless you like to show-off. In that case go for the new pink iPhone 6s

Well these "safe" call can be recorded and you can't know it, even the text are stored somewhere

I probably would be, but I think Authenticator/2 Factor auth is a great feature.

This is for security to protect the online accounts, but in general smartphones can be tracked.

I know you can not run a cellular company in Canada with out a backdoor already in play.
So pretty sure the States would be all over this.

What if we didn't use a cell phone at all?

I'm sure that would be very suspicious and a sure way to attract attention of the wrong kind.

Soon it will be in all the cars as well and in your home.
