I think that we as a society (though I am not American) should decide first whether we think backdoors for court orders are worth the risk at all. Let's be honest with ourselves, the chance to be killed by terrorists is minuscule compared to other factors that are under human control (air pollution, traffic incidents, homicides). If you are looking at non-terrorist criminal activity, one has to wonder if you don't have more serious problems than unlocking a bunch of iPhones when your homicide rates[1] or traffic-related deaths[2] are higher than nearly any other Western country. Terrorism and crime are just easy distractions to get more power.
