   To equate the government with random companies selling your identification   
   for a buck is probably something most people wouldn't directly do.   
      
   I wouldn't put it past the government, but I wonder what kind of repressive   
   regime Chris must be living under to equate the government with Apple?   
      
   There's a huge difference in the government's power over you versus   
   Apple's. Well, at least for a normal person. Maybe not for Chris. :)
