So say I live in Germany and Amazon gets served a warrant in the US to facilitate in remotely unlocking my door. Amazon could theoretically unlock my front door from their HQ in the US.
What are the legal ramifications of this? We're not talking about access to data anymore, but potentially access to physical locations that would otherwise be outside of direct US jurisdiction.

They are rather easy, chances are if they get a warrant it doesn't matter that Amazon can open your door, so can the police. And wasting time calling Amazon rather then just smashing your door down (or knocking) seems like a bit much.

It shouldn’t matter how ‘tough’ the door lock is either way. 4 digit ATM codes are easy to break too - we still expect them to provide a level of protection
