So, in case you didn't know, Apple refuses to cooperate with the FBI in their efforts to decrypt an iPhone that belonged to one of the terrorists responsible for San Bernardino massacre, because of the possible risks involving the acquaintance of such technology (a mechanism to eliminate the data protection password in iDevices).
In my honest opinion, the FBI never gained the trust it thinks it deserves, and the possibilities of finding valuable intel on that phone are little to none. Potentially risking privacy is, in this case, worthless.
So #offtopic, which is your position in the subject.

Said this before and I'll say it again. Of course they should be allowed to. There obviously should be limits but if they see an ISIS Instagram account, they should be able to track it.
