Yes. "Vittles" is a colloquial version of victuals.

Older operating system phones running less secure ecryption that Apple could always break. The FBI is pissed now that the phones have good encryption, and they want to force Apple to create a new way to be able to break in like they used to.

Not quite, Crash. Apple has not kept encryption keys since ios8. They stopped because it became SOP for the feds to subpoena at the drop of a hat.

Godspeed to Apple. This ridiculous garbage will be shot down. Freedom-loving Americans everywhere will see to it.

iOS 8 released in 2014 is where this issue starts.

The federal government did have privacy concerns regarding this matter...before it happened.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/secret-us-poli ... d=35749325
Fearing a civil liberties backlash and "bad public relations" for the Obama administration, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson refused in early 2014 to end the secret U.S. policy that prohibited immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of all foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas, according to a former senior department official.

...

"It was primarily a question of optics," said Cohen. "There were concerns from a privacy and civil liberties perspective that while this was not illegal, that it would be viewed negatively if it was disclosed publicly."
What the government as a whole cares about is not rooted in actually believing the shit they actually do. It's all about "optics" from the perspective of who is in power. We shouldn't give them the "keys" to anything, because the winds will change based on the whims of individuals and political parties who end up in positions of power.

"Using an obscure law written in 1789 – the All Writs Act – the US Government has ordered Apple to place a backdoor into its iOS software so the FBI can decrypt information on an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters."

See, for all those constitutional "originalists" out there, this shouldn't matter. Doesn't matter that whoever wrote that law could have no conception of cell phones, it's the original meaning of the language to the writers of the law that matters. Nothing changes! It's writ in stone!!

Cowering, freedom-hating subservients like crash and BRM are the problem. They gladly kneel at the feet of their masters, lick the hands that chained them, and then admonish others who refuse to do likewise.

Feckless, whimpering Anti-Americans like crash and BRM are the real issue - not ISIS or the Taliban or whatever.

The key is not the amount, but in the seriousness of those orders. Improving the Coordination and Effectiveness of Youth Programs is a little less weighty than allowing illegals to stay in the country.

Dammit, sardis. Now, you're challenging me to categorize the types of Executive Orders signed by all Presidents from Reagan forward...
