In the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution we read "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seisures, shall not be violated, ..... " - so is not an iPhone an 'effect.' Does this settle the matter. :?:
I totally agree! Think about this. The government, in the form of a court order, has ordered a private corporation, to invent at its expense, technowledgey that doesn't exist yet, to breach the security system of the phone it sells in part because it is secure! Now what happens when the "Geni" is out of the bottle? Who guards this NEW Tech?
The government should request bids for this tech to be developed and then award contract as it deams or why not just hand the Dam thing off to the NSA?
