Abstract

Foundational issues of liberty versus security were questioned during the scenario involving the federal government and Apple Computer concerning an iPhone recovered from the San Bernardino shooting. A fundamental premise of this debate involved considerations of liberty and privacy versus security. In this instance, the scenario involved Apple’s ability and willingness to assist the federal government to access its iPhone product. This paper provides a brief commentary regarding this scenario.
