As developers shouldn't we view it as a smart phone problem? When trying to reach Poitras and Greenwald Snowden turned to a technical solution, encryption, for what is a government problem, spying on private communications.

Whether or not developing technical solutions to government problems is the best use of our skills I do not know.
