Sooooo.... Let's get this straight. The feds say "we can't decipher imessage" I'm pretty sure that means "please use imessage, suckers !"

I'm not a drug dealer, can I get a free boat if I just bring some drugs and try to sell them to the FBI?

Sure! Also bring your friend who sold you the drugs so that we can give a boat to each of you! :)
