You don’t know that the NSA did get in. ALL you know is that some purported slide had the word apple on it. You don’t even know if its actually a real NSA slide, or even if it is, whether the NSA was lying about what they could do to try to discourage fuckwits from using any sort of electronic device to communicate with, to make it much harder to do what they want to do.
