        if this is all true, why did they need a key for the San Bernadino iPhone hack? Anyone?

        they didn't. They wanted the precedent set in court that the gov't can force companies to break code

        interesting even though they could already break it. This is crazy fascinating. And deeply scary.

        even worse: they already do it, that was just an attempt to legalize it.

        Wizardry is slightly dated developer slang for advanced algorithmic knowledge. Not really a certain sign of a tech novice.

        I missed that the article was written by the then editors of the post, sort of changes the context.
