Re: 1 Of course the US govt can compel Apple to do things that are within the law. If your side wins on your narrow All Writs argument; bully for you. Stand by

Re: 1 Of course the US govt can compel Apple to do things that are within the law. If your side wins on your narrow All Writs argument; bully for you. Stand by for the big guns. Re: 2 So your rock solid argument is what: that I am secure from govt intrusion if I buy a Samsung as the software was made by Google? Hm.. Re: 3 Now you're talking either from ignorance or hyperbole: ain't all that hard to have them take the specific phone into a safe room with custom cloned hardware, bypass the check and unlock it. Don't see how this fundamentally changes thinking on any crucial aspect of their engineering. (Ignoring comment about equivalency as it makes no sense, but feel free to elaborate) Re: govt needs to do... So there is nothing you want to contribute in a conversation about how we balance this dilemma? You don't see there ever being a case for the govt wanting access to the contents of a phone, even with a court order? What about a house or a car? If my house has a key, with a crypto seal on it, and it blows the whole house up if you pick it for more than 10 minutes, that's okay? Nobody should be compelled to help the govt get in?
