No. It's for foreign markets to stop buying American goods because the FBI/NSA/Illuminati/MolePeople has infiltrated them all, and if Angela Merkel uses an iPhone, it's basically giving the (insert three-letter agency) access to everything she does. When American products get banned/banished/dumped from foreign markets, you are going to see BIG changes in the US government. The government is bought and paid for by the big corps, and the big corps will not put up with this shit. Fun Fact: The NSA routinely intercepts shipments of networking hardware. They snarf up the package, unbox it, make hardware/firmware changes to the device, repackage it, and insert it back into FedEx (or whoever's) stream of packages, and it gets delivered to the customer. "Why the hell has my package been in Memphis for two days?!? Jeezus, get it on a plane and get it here!" This is not a "common" practice, but it isn't rare, either. I have seen devices with the manufacturer's tamper-proof labels unbroken, and when you get inside, you find extra hardware, chips that never shipped in that product, etc. The NSA remotely controls those products across the network, and it lets them snoop on any traffic within a company. (They really like to do this to routers and ADCs, since so much traffic goes through them.) Get into a single iPhone? Psh. They already have gotten in there. This is all a stunt to push a political agenda. The only way that we can get real change in this country is for any major corporation to pull out and stop selling to the United States.
