Who is a greater danger for ordinary people, like us?

On 2 December, 2015 Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik, of Pakistani origin, shot 14 people to death and injured another 22 at a party in San Bernadino in California. The FBI found an iPhone, belonging to Farook, but has been unable to access its data. Normally, they would go on trying passwords until one worked but an encryption software automatically wipes the phone's memory after 10 failed attempts. The FBI wanted Apple to write a backdoor to the phone which will disable this function so that they can access its contents. Apple refused, the FBI went to court and the judge ordered Apple to create such a backdoor. So far Apple has been holding out. The government says that it is asking for Apple to open just one phone whereas Apple says that once the software is created anyone using any Apple product will become vulnerable to hackers. Not much point in having freedom of speech if you cannot speak in confidence, is it? Victims are filing a separate case against Apple because they want to know why this happened. How will it help them if they find that the shooters were religious fanatics or that they hated Americans or that it was revenge for relatives killed in US drone attacks? We understand that they are emotionally upset but this is illogical. What did they learn from the shooting of 20 little children at Sandy Hook Elementary School? Despite repeated shootings a majority of Americans oppose gun controls but because this has been called a 'terrorist incident' they are getting all emotional. Perhaps they should ask the government why it is bent on selling 8 F-16 jets to Pakistan despite this episode. Alright to kill Indians as long as they stay away from the US of A, what? There is only one reason where unlocking the phone might help and that is if there are names or other data which might lead them to a terror cell. The FBI has been trying to link this attack to a terror plot to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan, in 2012. Apple fears that sales of its devices may fall of people are afraid that their personal information maybe hacked and other governments are sure to demand the same assistance from Apple in future, if it gives in to the FBI. For us, who are not Americans, this is deeply disturbing. The US has been spying on leaders of other countries, including those friendly to the US. In an act of air piracy the plane carrying Evo Morales, the President of Bolivia was almost hijacked by European governments, obeying instructions from Washington. Do we want our personal information to be freely available to the Americans so that they can 'rendition' anyone they feel can provide some information on 'waterboarding'? For that matter do we want our government to know our information when the Congress passed the infamous section 66A, which allowed the police to arrest anyone criticising the government, especially since the government has our biometric details on Aadhar cards? We can fight terrorists, we have no defense against governments. They are a greater danger.
