I expect the same method I use to ensure no one retrieves data from my old hard drives is just as effective with a smart phone.

I got one.
But it’ll still has a camera etc..
The ICs can be de-potted quite easily. It is done all of the time in waferfab forensic laboratories.
Sure but activating the camera - in my case means opening the flip else it takes a picture in my pocket or of the side of my face in extreme close up. So nothing interesting and so who cares.
The smart phones does not have that ‘feature.’
I still like this hack though: http://www.cnet.com/news/a-mobile-phone-with-a-rotary-dial-retro-cool-or-retro-fool/
So, cracking one dead terrorist’s phone is worth compromising the privacy of all Americans? Yeah, right, Comrade—why don’t you hike on back to China or Russia or wherever the hell you were raised?
Works OK on single level silicon, but not so well on multilevel chips. That's what these are. The technique becomes destructive. The current flow also won't work on multilevel either. As for probing, Apple has designed these to prevent such probes from working.
So how's the FBI doing on those email messages of Hillary's? If they can't do anything with those, they aren't fit to nose into cellphones and smart phones.
Remember what they used the phone taps they had on Martin Luther King for?
When King learned he would be the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, the FBI decided to take its harassment of King one step further, sending him an insulting and threatening note anonymously. A draft was found in the FBI files years later. In it the FBI wrote, "You are a colossal fraud and an evil, vicious one at that." The letter went on to say, "The American public ... will know you for what you are -- an evil, abnormal beast," and "Satan could not do more."
The letter's threat was ominous, if not specific: "King you are done." Some have theorized the intent of the letter was to drive King to commit suicide in order to avoid personal embarrassment. "King, there is only one thing left for you to do," the letter concluded. "You know what it is ... You better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation."
Turning it on is one thing; decrypting it is a problem several orders of magnitude larger.
Я не думаю, что правительству нужно будет попросить Apple, чтобы включить микрофон или камеру чьей.

If a terrorist knew of plans to attack a church where your family was going to pray tomorrow, would you approve of waterboarding him.... or looking into his employer’s cellphone?
Also, you may remember... or may not... that the “Right to Privacy” is NOT part of the US Constitution and was first advanced with any significance... some say invented.... in order to justify allowing abortion in Roe v. Wade.
And please, personal insults only make you look foolish.
bkmk
No, I would not approve of it.
I will not sacrifice essential liberty for temporary safety.
Also, where did you come up with this nonsense about “right to privacy” not being in the Constitution? Have you ever actually READ the Bill of Rights? Why don’t you read it and come back to me and tell the class what you found.
I have read it, plead it, and taught it for years.
For your edification; here it is again:

For you, for remedial brain work, please read:
Janet Smith on the Right to Privacy
How Bad Laws Allowed the Culture of Death
October 17, 2008ZENIT StaffUncategorized
By Annamarie Adkins
ST. PAUL, Minnesota, OCT. 17, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Most Americans, even Catholics, probably take it for granted that the U.S. Constitution protects their right to privacy. But they may be surprised to find out that no such right is in the Constitution.
It was invented by lawyers to allow
Furthermore, the advent of the right to privacy in American constitutional law built a foundation for the culture of death to thrive in this country, according to philosopher Janet E. Smith.
The “right to privacy,” when originally formulated, referred to the right to have such things as one’s journal or conversations kept private.
But during the 1960s the courts invented a whole new meaning for the right to privacy. They were attempting to find some basis on which they could overturn laws against the sale, distribution and use of contraception.
For nearly a century many states and the federal government had laws against contraception. Planned Parenthood assiduously challenged those laws, but they were repeatedly affirmed by legislatures and courts.
In 1965, in Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court found constitutional protection for the sale, distribution and use of contraceptives — by married couples. As is well known, there is no right to privacy in the constitution nor were the justices clear on which amendment implied a right to privacy that would guarantee access to contraception.
Two short years later, the court expanded that right to the use of contraceptives by the unmarried. In 1973, the court found that the right to privacy extended to the right to have an abortion. There, too, laws of all 50 states were overturned by the votes of a few justices.
The right to privacy has become a very elastic right; it has been used to legalize contraception, abortion, assisted suicide and homosexual acts.
In Brown v The Board of Education, the it was judge made law, it was first used to to any significant assistance to make abortion law available everywhere.
Virtually no one can give a coherent explanation of what this right is and what it legitimately protects. It has become a wild card that permits the courts to advance a very liberal — not to say libertine agenda — often overriding the decisions of state legislatures and courts.
Understood, and if the Ninth Circus don’t want to recognize a right to be secure in one’s papers, they can always be overturned. Nevertheless, I argue that a plain reading supports privacy.
I’m sorry, but “plain reading” is another ways of saying “Well, the legislature really didn’t want to pass a law that meant what the law said it meant... but I can figure it out.”
The so-called “right of privacy” was never even a vocalized significant issue in America until it was invented to justify abortion buy Associate Justice Harry Blackman in the liberal court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade.
Abortion is not a good foundation on which to hang the refusal to comply with a court order in a national security case.
