"Oh wait, our attempt create a backdoor to every private citizen's iPhone, using a single terrorism case as a trojan horse, has been discovered? Oops sorry but we still need those backdoors."
It also amazes me he thought it was a helpful metaphor to say that the FBI doesn't want a backdoor, just for Apple to take the “vicious guard dog away” and “let us pick the lock.” I think every American would prefer having a guard dog protecting their personal property and data than just let these liars pick the lock.
