Yes, Comey's words, at face value, always do come across as respecting due process. But what even is a "warrant" anymore as it applies to three letter organizations? What are the scopes of these things nowadays?
And the tradeoff that Comey doesn't like and that is out of his hands is that we the people want no mechanism for any digitally remote third party to gain access to our data. In the cell phone case, we don't even want physical access to our devices to provide access to our data by others. Law enforcement's access is collateral damage in this fight, which makes warrants moot anyway. But it's either accessible or not, blind to who is doing the accessing, so closed it should be.
