“For chain of command, after a warrant, Apple builds a small LE room in Cupertino HQ. in it is what they need to unlock a phone used in a crime.”
And then try to sell me an iphone they claim has encryption? Any other bright ideas?
Someone will sell you an app that double-encrypts your phone. Get in with the Apple key, and the FBI will still have to get past a PGP-equivalent that is beyond the capabilities of even the NSA.
So you don’t even want law enforcement to be able to check on one phone if there has been a warrant to search that person?
I don’t want all phones to have a key to unencrypt. But for the manufacturer to hand over an opened phone under warrant doesn’t mean that the law abiding phone owners don’t have encrypted phones.
