“As to the silly notion that it’s for just one phone and it’s for the children... Just look at history.”
I am looking at history. It’s called the Constitution. thanks for repeating the same mistake everyone else has that is against this. The REAL dangerous precedent here would be to ignore it. And you don’t ignore it without going through the process, which is complying or showing cause why you can’t. The “I don’t trust you” defense is not one of those.
We wont agree on this topic clearly. However the difference is this can impact a billion people. Weakening security for the sake of a handful of individuals puts the rest of us at risk of breach, potentially worse. That is not something I am willing to trade, for the mislead belief that it will keep us safe at night.
The government needs to do their job, namely compromise the devices, keep their mouth shut, and invest in good ole fashioned humint, and sigint collection improvements.
