Great news. Law enforcement needs to find better ways to caught the bad guys. My data , is my business. I hope Apple doesn't implement a backdoor or something, and for real don't store encryption keys on their servers.

    This quote from the article is enlightening and gives me hope that Apple is doing the right thing:

      The FBI said it was “deeply concerned with the threat end-to-end and 
      user-only-access encryption pose,” according to a statement provided by 
      an agency spokeswoman. “This hinders our ability to protect the American 
      people from criminal acts ranging from cyberattacks and violence against 
      children to drug trafficking, organized crime and terrorism,” the 
      statement said. The FBI and law enforcement agencies need “lawful access 
      by design,” it said.
