Sorry. It doesn't make /any/ sense.
As others have already stated rather eloquently:
If a person is going to commit a felony "cyberattacks", why the hell
would they worry about the legality of jailbreaking? It's like armed
bank robbers worrying that they're fully automatic rifle isn't legal.
And:
This is IDIOTIC. How can any reasonable person possibly buy this
argument.
Anyone that wants to bring down a cell phone tower or cell network
IS NOT GOING TO CARE whether or not it's LEGAL to screw with the
cell radio baseband software. They are ALREADY attempting to do
something much worse.
Let's be honest here, the "security" aspect of this argument is a
smokescreen. It's blatantly all about the profit!
Furthermore, the cellular network should NOT be so fragile that a
single rogue cell phone could take it down (AFAIK it is not). BUT if
AT&T is truly insistent on making this argument, then I believe a
full investigation by the FCC is mandated. The self-admitted fragile
state of their network means that their stewardship of a public
resource (radio spectrum) is being poorly managed and truly
endangering national security.
And finally:
hahahahaha
and hahahahahaha!
Maybe if people put their jailbroken phones in trebuchets and fire
them at cell towers...

it makes sense though. but only because AT&T network is so shoddy that
amature hackers could bring it to its knees.

Very typical of Apple stance these days. They do a great job
promoting their image to consumers because sometimes their claims
are as ridiculous as some of the claims that come from Microsoft.
