Regardless of which party is in power, I simply would never
trust the government with a security backdoor into our devices. The more of these attacks there are, the more the gubmint will scream for this stuff, and the "safer" we will be.
They cannot be trusted with that kind of power any more than MegaCorps® or Sir Haxalot. I'm pretty sure that Apple will stand its ground, but also that this business will eventually get legislated into law and upheld by SCOTUS.
