Warrants are meaningless - iMessages/MMS on Apple devices are now encrypted. Even with a warrant, they could not be decrypted without the user letting them. I for one am beyond tired of government acting like a petulant child simply because freedom has the potential to be abused. And, while it whines about not being able to see bad people do bad things, there are systems approaching perfection that enable precisely that anonymity.
Irony - Comey telling Americans not trust government as he begs for backdoors to be built in:
DailyTech - FBI Director: Don't Trust Government, But Give It Your Data Without Transparency
Just unbelievable double-speak.
I wouldn't say warrants are totally obsolete. Law enforcement agencies could get a warrant to seize the device then a judge could order the owner to unlock the device under penalty of law if they don't. At least that's my understanding.
The FBI is cheesed because now an owner could wipe the phone once he/she realizes they are under investigation, similar to flushing drugs down the toilet.
To this I say, tough tamales.
In America, there is no law penalizing failure to provide encryption keys. This isn't Britain. We have the right not to self-incriminate. Despite what, two court cases, there is no law penalizing failure to provide decryption keys.

Good point. I know I read something recently that included something about a judge ordering people to unlock the devices. That may have just been wishful thinking from FBI guy.
I'll see if I can find the article.
sounds good but privacy is gone forever. read what they did to Ladar Levison Owner and Operator, Lavabit LLC when he tried to keep the feds from reading his clients private emails. Lavabit,This isn't about wiretapping. It basically allows phone companies to tell .gov to pound sand when they come asking for access to content stored on the device without the owner's knowledge.
It will eliminate backdoor access, making the owner the only one that can unlock the phone. It will also help protect against hacking.
They can still tap phones with the proper warrant.

They futilely tried to have him relinquish the master key for the database and he flipped them the middle finger and shut it down. This may be a technical win for government and its censorship, but no data was compromised. Additionally, the service didn't do anything more than PGP/GPG does now for email service.
ok so will apple shut its doors or will it quietly give the feds the key and tell the consumer with privacy concerns that your info is secure with our new phone?

F.B.I. needs to spend their time hunting down actual criminals. It's called "leg work".
