there is a paranoid theory that goes like this:
the FBI assumes there’s nothing on the phone because it was the perpetrator’s work phone issued by, and plan paid for by, the perp’s employer. a more paranoid version goes that the FBI knows there’s nothing on it because the NSA can and did break it for them. either way, the whole situation is pure theater, the FBI wants the legal precedent for unlimited surveillance and took this incident as their leverage to get it.
do y’all think there’s anything to that?
