"In a divided election year, encryption brings parties together — against technology

As a showdown looms between Apple and the FBI over encryption and
backdoors, the debate has made its way onto the campaign trail as a surprisingly bipartisan issue.

Almost universally, the candidates agree on at least one thing: The US government needs backdoors.

In fact, only one candidate, Marco Rubio, seemed to allow for any nuance
on the issue. It's a surprising imbalance, given that many of the biggest
names in tech generally agree backdoors ultimately weaken security for everyone.

In fact, Jeb Bush argues that the National Security Agency should be put
in charge of all civilian encryption, an idea that many in the technology
and security industries would likely find a little unsettling.

In a recent, very unscientific IT Pro poll, 85% of respondents backed
Apple's stance on not backdooring their own hardware. Read below for each
of the candidates' public statements on the issue, and let us know your thoughts in the comments."

Why don't they just get Apple to "crack open" that one single phone
and give them access to the information?
That way Apple would still be the only ones able to crack their own
phones and the feds would not have gained any technology that would
allow them to mass open all IPhones.

OOOPS, what was I thinking. If they did that then Apple would never
have gotten all of the free publicity and been able to put up the
image that they are "looking out for the people".
