re: #134 Big Beautiful Door

I would think Apple already has the capacity to do that. It has always been the case that the government, when it has probable cause, can obtain search warrants to inspect property for evidence which is otherwise off-limits.

No, Apple doesn’t have the technology to do it — the government is arguing (again — we did this during the Clinton administration) that they should develop the technology to break into phones and build it into all phones. Which would result, after about 10 seconds, in hackers of all stripes being able to break into everyone’s phone.

I say Apple is right and the government is wrong. The good guys won this in the last round, and I hope they win it again.
