To be fair, SWATing kills people. Death is generally considered a non trivial and also life wrecking event.



Honestly I'd rather get shot dead by a SWAT team than implicated for something as atrocious as what this tool is looking for. I imagine many people with a family would feel the same way.

It's an abomination that will destroy innocent people. The engineers behind this no doubt think it's fool-proof because they believe they're leagues smarter than any of those pesky naysayers ("hey, we're Apple").

If we've learned anything about Apple this year (as if we needed the reminder) is that their software is nowhere close to as flawless as they seem to think it is.
