<p class="MsoNormal">Now, let’s say for argument sake the NSA has already cracked the Iphone seccuirty but does not want the general public to know that. Then the FBI is on a no lose situation. Either way, the FBI can say that Celebrit cracked the Iphone secuirty

Actually *Apple* sometimes considers bulk purchases of iPhones to be suspicious. (Sometimes they consider purchases of iPhones with cash suspicious and decline them.)<br>
<br>
This has nothing to do with terrorism - it has (or had) to do with a big demand for iPhones in China. There was a whole "gray market" supply chain set up to buy them here (eventually by hiring mules) and ship them to China for sale at premium prices. Ironic
when you think about where they were built!<br>
<br>
This is pretty much obsolete now as Apple sells directly to China in a big way.<br>
