Do you think that the government departments that issue your driver's
license and passport don't also store that data in their computer

In any case, I'd say it would be a lot easier to pickpocket someone's
wallet from their person than it would be to break into and retrieve
encrypted data from Apple's systems.
I think you missed badgolferman's point, Chris.
And you just as likely didn't understand mine.
It's fine for you to feel safe with billions of people being able to
potentially access *both* the DMV and Apple's so-called encrypted systems.
Given how horribly insecure Apple's systems have been to date, I don't know
whom I'd trust *less* with my personal data... the government or Apple.
Just keep in mind the fact that even the most carefully guarded encryption
schemes have been proven to be hacked given enough resources paid to them.
