Many people would seek out such devices... but many people can still be a small minority of your target market. If the economics makes sense to have two different builds they'll do it, if it doesn't then you'll get one size fits all. Also, consider how many people that buy these devices also use cloud services available for these devices where even fourth amendment protections are likely null/void. In some ways/shapes/forms it makes the device encryption backdoor already moot for many.
- sathackr 11y agoYes...I'm curious to see how 'things stored in the cloud' will eventually work out with the 4th/5th amendment protections. Seems most of the current law applies to them as electronic communications, but I think they are becoming more and more like a safe deposit box, which I think has fared a bit better. It's unfortunate that it will likely take a few guinea pigs with a lot of money and the right type of case to force the judicial system to work this out. Of course, the prudent criminal would encrypt anything, using non-backdoored encryption, before it left his/her control thus making LEO/Government access to their cloud storage ineffective.
