> Apple’s new policy seems to thumb its nose at that great tradition. Tradition is not law. I like Apple's approach. It's not their job to do the government's job for them nor is it their job to make the government's job easier. It's their job to develop the best product they can and not be hindered by tradition or whatever other albatrosses they don't wish to accept. The government is now free to develop the best methods they can to retrieve information, within the law.
