>A police “back door” for all smartphones is undesirable — a back door can and will be exploited by bad guys, too. However, with all their wizardry, perhaps Apple and Google could invent a kind of secure golden key they would retain and use only when a court has approved a search warrant.

Has anyone even bother to sanity check that?

    I won't bother to give them the page view for that, but isn't that post a few months old? I believe by someone called Orr something? He was quite berated by many on Twitter, and I think he backed off on his statements a bit. I think he even posted a follow-up to address that.
