  • My memory from the time was that the FBI probably wanted a court to grant presidence, even though they had the tools to do it anyway. Having a court order to break iPhone encryption would make state surveillance easier nationwide. Once public opinion turned and 1st amendment rights were brought into it, the FBI backed down and eventually were able to crack into the phone in the slower way (that they probably knew they’d be able to all along). And of course, 7 years later, there is no report of any information being found on that phone which lead to taking down terrorists or preventing other mass shootings.




  • I had ExpressPay before OMNY and that also had a list of every transaction in the website where you had to refill your card. Ever since they came out with the MetroCard, I assume there was a shadow profile per card and that was linked to the credit card number on file if that was the method the card was purchased by.

    Personally, I value the transactions list, since it makes it easier to verify I was billed properly and got the free transfer or the 13th ride free. I’ve not had to dispute anything yet but I imagine it’ll be easier to bring up any issues with customer service over the phone after the fact, than the station agent.

    There’s always the dedicated OMNY cards you can buy from stores, although I’m not sure if it’s possible to refill with cash directly somehow. For the most privacy focused, it’s good this option exists, and at least maintains most of the privacy as the MetroCards used to.
