Actually the problem is how to save the Fourth Amendment from the effects of widespread encryption.
Without enforceable warrants the Fourth Amendment means nothing, no one can get justice from the courts.
Bull. Encryption is a digital lock. No more. If someone wanted to bar their doors, install reinforced frames, etc., the cops couldn’t just barge in. They could pull a Waco and bulldoze the property down, but that’s not practical.
Everyone’s focused on this single instance of a single phone from a dead terrorist. Any leads are likely long gone cold, and the FBI is looking for a bailout because they were the ones who screwed up the lock on the phone in the first place!
This is a red herring operation. Encryption serves far more good than bad, and the idea that we need “justice” from unbreakable encryption is like saying we shouldn’t ever have locked doors.
