> Apple’s new policy seems to thumb its nose at that great tradition. It stops the government from being able to access the phone precisely when it has a lawful warrant signed by a judge. When the government has a warrant, the person being called into question is being served the warrant. The way it works now, the Government just bypasses the person and forces the carrier/handset manufacturer to give up information. This step is just brining the law back in line with how it was traditionally instated and enforced. That's like the Government going to Audi for a backdoor key to unlock my car while I'm not there so they can search it.
