You are severely misinformed, both about the constitution and the technological implications of the position you are blindly touting. (1) The Mass. Supreme Court ruling/precedent can compel a suspect, with proper legal protocol, to decrypt a device and is NOT an infringement on one's constitutional rights. This makes the entire argument of "responsible disclosure" null and void. (2) You seeing security holes as "forgot password functionality" shows how uninformed and inexperienced you are. When you start seeing everything from CPU fans (measuring audible signals to detect an encryption key) to the latest un-patchable USB bug (arbitrary code execution via invisible controller-chip firmware alterations) as attack vectors you will begin to realize just how wide the potential 'surface' is. Care to venture what could happen if someone were to, say, reverse engineer the baseband and had access to all firmware functions of a device within an environment where the decryption key was being used? A "golden key" is simply creating the largest historical hacking bounty, and a fool would think such keys could be kept secure indefinitely. When you are admittedly an amateur and experts are telling you this is a bad idea, you should listen. Whether human or machine history has PROVEN that there is no "perfect system." Introducing unnecessary holes to accommodate bureaucratic pedantry is wholly unnecessary, and I would venture to say, idiocy.
